[twsocket] Off Topic ICS and MidWare Frappr group

[David Hooper]

In hindsight, a better idea would have been to send an email to the ICS
group asking for people to add their location to frappr and just provided
the url.
But I don't think I'll get spammed by this,
Besides.. I frappr'd for samurize a while back on the same email address
and haven't noticed an increase

(curious note: frappr does not believe my email address to be valid because
it has more than 1 dot ., so i use my yahoo one which has spam protection
already )

ICS is 'PostCardWare' in part because the author enjoys seeing where his 
users are.  Frappr is the coolest thing since post cards.  Therefore, we 
were emailed for something important, and well worthwhile.  Also, I would 
suggest increasing the price of ICS to a postcard AND a Frappr pin.

Since we are off-topic, if V7 does not support D7, then I will have to spend 
hundreds of dollars upgrading Delphi.  I will not have problems doing that. 
This shows that ICS is worth quite a bit to me, and I think that it would be 
a good idea if there was a PayPal site for ICS contributions.  (Amazon 
Europe Gift Cards are too complicated for me...)  Yes, I did contribute to 
keep this list going. ( http://www.elists.org/donate/ )

(So I don't start a flame war, I understand the masses that hate to be 
emailed or have their email address compromised.  Changing your email 
address because you cannot access it anymore due to the thousands of daily 
junk emails is not a pleasant experience.  However, in my opinion, this was 
a low-risk mass emailing and well worthwhile.)

Hi,

IMHO, safe opt-in lists - if such a thing exists - should ask the holder 
of the address for confirmation, when opting in or changing email address.

This Frappr thing obviously did not, and therefore, can not be 
considered safe - no matter the good intention.
Unless the invitation is considered a confirmation request, and actual 
opt-in is done, when you add yourself.. Should say so, in that case..

 You totally miss the point.
 
 Regardless of the cause, it is not right.
 
 The next worthwhile cause I find I am going to subscribe you to the mailing
 list.
