Technically I agree that this falls into the category of spam, but at least I'd say that it's targeted spam. Compared to the 100+ offers to extend my penis or make it perform like a Formula 1 race car that receive every day (despite two filters), I find the occasional spam from a document company pretty acceptable in this forum. Besides, plenty of people promote products, conferences or services on this list, myself among them. I suppose the poster could use something in the subject line to indicate that it's an advertisement, but being on the digest, I don't pay much attention to them anyway. Best just to ignore it, I think. -- Regards, Marcus Carr email: mcarr at allette.com.au ___ Allette Systems (Australia) www:http://www.allette.com.au ___ "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Einstein

Re: MORE SPAM TO LIST MEMBERS
I don't mean to beat this to death, but I submitted my unsubscribe command and am just now getting time to accept the confirmation (which I will do after sending this message). But just a couple quick things. On January 1st, I changed email addresses, and I have been very careful about where I've posted that address. I have now gotten exactly two spam messages so far this year, and both are from this Indian Framemaker spammer. I responded each time and told him to unsubscribe me, but he continues to spam me, and many others on this list (who responded to me). If he is this unethical, he'll probably sell the addresses. I just started using Framemaker this year, and I have subscribed to exactly two online resources: this list, and Adobe's online forum. Adobe's forum hides email addresses, this list does not (nor should it). The most likely way this guy got my email, then, is from this list. I'm disappointed that the leadership of this list won't take action against this guy, so I'm sorry to go. Thanks to all for the excellent advice everyone gave me here, and sorry to have caused problems for anyone.

Not to make you crazy, but there are bots who just try combinations of letters and numbers and send out thousands of spams. Then they track the ones that don't get a bounce to verify valid addresses.

Re: MORE SPAM TO LIST MEMBERS
Hi John, I hate to see you go... I find this list PRICELESS in terms of the assistance it has provided me in my FrameMaker tasks over the years. Hey, if you've only gotten TWO spams this year, consider yourself way ahead of the game! (I get about 200 per day it seems!) This list is actually very clean in terms of SPAM. I barely remember the message in question. I thought it was just a list member offering services (which normally doesn't happen, btw). Good Luck in your Frame endeavors. Don. -- Donald M.

I get perhaps a dozen to 18 spams a day at this address and consider myself to be very fortunate that it's not more. At my university account, which I've never used on any list of any kind, I get more like 60 spams a day. If you've got two this year then you don't have a spam problem. The information from the list is way too valuable to drop your subscription for even 20 spams a day. - web

RE: MORE SPAM TO LIST MEMBERS
I got two emails from them today to to different accounts. One is the Framers account, the other is one listed on my site, so it looks like he's harvesting from many sources. That's not to say this list isn't one of them, but he's going all out in collecting them. I've deleted them, but I think next time I'll ask him to stop sending to me. If he continues then I may follow up with a terabyte of attachments using Word to bulk mail him. I suggest anyone who gets a message just send a quick note to let him know the issue, and, if it continues, then get nasty. Dropping off this list because of a few nuisance emails may not be worth it. Heck, you may want to set up an automated rule to just delete anything from his domain.
