The world has changed somewhat over the past few years. While I appreciate your opt-out policy, I feel the need to ask...is your marketing list opt-in in the first place? I am not "attacking" here, but just wanted a bit of clarification. For me, most of my customers are on an opt-out list, but the first email sent to that list was one that was not marketing at all, but a note telling them that I planned to use the email they provided me for a marketing list. That was how I handled it, but each company operates differently. >I'm sure you all market to your customers in various ways, and we >do the same. We are also a vendor member of WISPA. Vendor membership offers a lot of nice "relaxations" of the "normal" posting policies. I am not accusing you of such a thing, but wanted to clarify that vendor membership does not provide a license to harvest... (I know you didn't harvest list addresses...) -- ******************************************************************** *Butch Evans *Professional Network Consultation * *Network Engineering *MikroTik RouterOS * *573-276-2879 *ImageStream * *http://www.butchevans.com/ *StarOS and MORE * *http://blog.butchevans.com/ *Wired or wireless Networks * *Mikrotik Certified Consultant *Professional Technical Trainer * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
