It always amazes me how some people get so upset about spam. It seems to be almost a religious war against it! Personally, I have to agree with Lizette - if vendors can't send emails to people who belong to Share, they probably wouldn't want to spend as much money on Share.
I seriously thought about coming to this Share, but I decided that the cost would eat into my savings too much, as I'm still looking for work. The Share fee is pretty reasonable, but the cost of a hotel is pretty steep.
