Rob should have done the same
Steve,
The last time I even mentioned "invaluement" at MailOp - and it was an
on-topic post - I got very harshly criticized for allegedly being too
promotional and spammy. Someone had complained about a spam not being
blocked by any of the blacklists, and I mentioned that invaluement had
the particular domain or IP already-blacklisted for a while at that
point. Maybe I was being too self-promoting? But I felt like the
take-town was rather unprofessional and nasty.... way over the top. I
was disappointed that there was no pushback on that. I can take
criticism, but it ought to be professional and not mean-spirited. In
contrast, the criticism of your posts in this thread has been very very
tame by comparison. But hopefully this will explain for you how/why I
trying hard to NOT mention "invaluement" unless absolutely necessary. So
hopefully you'll understand now why I didn't do that "disclaimer" that
you think I should have done.
I guess people don't take too kindly if/when anti-spam blacklists
services engage in even the slightest spammy behavior? For this reason,
I wouldn't ever even consider doing anything that involves sending
unsolicited bulk email, even if there was an altruistic angle to it. But
maybe I'm too cautious?
