Has anyone else found themselves 'subscribed' to the "Homeland
Defense Journal" without being asked if they want to be added?
They tried to hit this list last month, and I was wondering who
else got hoovered into their database.

I think another rising threat to homeland defense is this
practice of doing whatever you like with people's contact
information without asking their permission, or paying them for
the use. Claiming we can "opt-out" at any time is unacceptable.
The rule (if not common decency) should be that people opt-in to
whatever scam you're running, and unless they do, you shouldn't
use their information.

How about if we just punched spammers in the nose, and told them
they could opt-out from being savaged at any time in the
future?!? Of course, this option would be stated in very fine
print and buried in a very long disclaimer. Also to file their
request properly, they need to fill out a really long and nosey
form, or call in their request using a toll number.)

...it must be a Monday...
