>>Please feel free to unsubscribe from my mailing-list, no worries. Actually, you should do the reverse, unsubscribe any harvested email addresses. Asking us to unsubscribe from your mailing is called op-out and is not a legal practice when targeting personal email addresses in Europe. So, by law, your are bound to remove these email addresses you collected from this mailing list (or any other). Thank you for complying. > I shall recommend you to people looking to buy computer, but I don't > appreciate to be added to newsletters without my consent. (Even if I > understand, from a business point-of-view. ;)) I won't. This behavior show a lack of professionalism and business ethics. Any informed business owner should know that this is an illegal practice in Europe and an un-welcome one in most community. There is enough FUD spread by large corporations around FOSS, I don't need my friends to come over and complains about how amateurish and unaware of its legal obligations this service provider was.
