It is extremely obvious that you have mined the email addresses of the member of the PICList to add to your spam list. I can assure you that this was done against their will. We have polled our membership several times in the past and always received a clear indication that they did not wish to receive unsolicited email. If you want to keep us from complaining to every one of the advertisers who you spam us on behalf of, you should mine the PICList emails again but this time, remove them, rather than add them to your list. I will be happy to eat my hat if you can show me any significant percentage of our 1900 member list that actually WANTS to receive your spam. --- James Newton (PICList Admin #3) mailto:jamesnewton@piclist.com 1-619-652-0593 PIC/PICList FAQ: http://www.piclist.com or .org -----Original Message----- From: Eletter [mailto:eletter@opensystems-publishing.com] Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2001 10:57 To: james Subject: OpenSystems remove list Importance: Low Dear Sir, I greatly apologize for the inconvenience of our e-mails.
