Fair enough. All of our account sign-up forms have a required "Ok to email" selection where there is no default and you must choose yes or no.

I guess this could be opt-in or opt-out depending on your view on life. :-) -Hal -----Original Message----- From: Butch Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: WISPA General List <[email protected]> To: WISPA General List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Spam from ligowave?

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...) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
