Let me get this straight:
- You signed up on their mailing Gallery effort, which included a
statement as to how they would use your information and not share it
with other vendors.
"Collected Information: How We Use It
We request and use only information that is absolutely essential to
respond to your requests for information on our products or services
and to inform you of services we think may be of interest to you. Our
site uses your IP address (an IP address identifies the type of
browser you are using i.e. Netscape; Internet Explorer by assigning a
unique number) for general system administration to serve you better
by diagnosing problems with our server."
- In the entire time you've been on the gallery mailing list, you've
gotten six, maybe eight, missives from Pentax Imaging talking about
their products, events, and etc, including advertisements.
- And now you're pissed off about what you signed up for.
Seems a bit ridiculous to call them "spammers". Giving your email
address to a company embarking on a promotional effort is indeed a
request for more information.
Unsubscribe if it annoys you that much. I just delete these things.

Pentax Imaging (aka division of Pentax USA), - I hate you, moronic
SPAMMERS!
As many other pdml-ers, I created a login on Pentax Gallery website
a year (or two?) ago. In a while after that, I started receiving e-
mails
from Pentax. These messages were sent to the address I used in my
Pentax
Gallery profile. In the beginning, they were related to the Gallery.
Then, some of the messages were informational messages, containing
some news about Pentax and its new website.
The most recent message is a clean cut advertisement, - with
prices of K20D and Optio W60.
And they shamelessly wrote in the footer of the message:
PENTAX LIST:
You have received this e-mail because you requested more
information from PENTAX. If you no longer want to receive these
e-mails, please unsubscribe here: ...
NO! Pentax, I did not request ANY information from Pentax.
I wonder if I should send a bunch of "useful" information to any
of the Pentax executives on a regular basis. I guess the fact that
I bought their equipment gives me the right to serve them with SPAM.

PS. In my work I buy considerable amount of equipment, parts,
supplies.
At the last conference exhibit, while giving my contact information to
the vendors, I told them that if they put my address on their mailing
list I will stop buying from them. I'll see if that will have any
effect.
