Re: SYS-Con relies on "dead" technology

2007-10-16 Thread Bruce A. Bergman
Did you miss anything? Yes! Sys-Con is one of the biggest hypocritical spammers out there. Even if you forgive them for what they did with CFDJ, they are still a horrible, horrible company. Once you get on one of their mailing lists, there is NO way off of it. I started noticing that even thoug
