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... -- - Bill Thoen ------------------------------------------------------------ GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.gisnet.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
