First of all... I humbly apologize to the community for my company's
ridiculous "marketing" (spamming) effort here. I myself got 4 copies
of the mail, and the first one I saw I e-mailed our real marketing
person (not the marketing firm that sent the mail) and let them know
how unhappy I was with it. I noticed the misspelling right away, and
typos in official communications drives me personally nuts. It was
sent without me or the other community members that work for Lucid
having proof read it or authorizing any of the addresses it went to.
I'm not sure how they culled the list of addresses it was sent to -
but obviously pulled from the community somehow.
On behalf of Lucid - I'm sorry.
In an attempt at a little damage control, please look past the
marketing faux pas and realize that Lucid is made up of techies that
are right here on these mailing lists and care strongly about
bettering the entire Lucene open source ecosystem. If you have any
questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me (and I'll
pass anything you'd like up to our management team).
Eric [sic] :)

Yes, they spammed me too, and they spell 'Lucen' wrong, so it's a
brilliant first impression.

Subject: Anyone else get the email from Lucid Imagination?
Eg:
---------------
Dear XXXX,
The purpose of this email is to introduce you to Lucid Imagination, a
new company that was launched on Jan 26, 2009.
Lucid provides commercial support for the Lucen/Solr deployments at
companies like: AOL, Apple, Comcast Interactive Media, and Zappos.
---------------
This is the only list I subscribe to with my work address, so I'm
guessing they harvested it from here somehow?
Anyone else get these? Atleast they have an auto-unsub option....
Cheers
N
