Re: Nonsense, absolute nonsense... [Fwd: HipCrime and Spam]
Sirs: I must agree that having a website invites unsolicited e-mail, if only to comment that people have seen the site. I send unsolicited e-mail to website owners as part of my marketing plan. On Or About: 11 Sep 96 at 21:34, Andy Dustman wrote:
You're sending out messages, inviting people to visit your web site, but you're using anonymous remailers because... you don't want people to know who you are? Then why invite them to your site (or even have a site)?
That's what makes it smell fishy. When I send unsolicited e-mail I give up the whole deal: phone number and all. If someone complains, I make great effort to never contact that person again. Either you want people to know who you are or you don't.
Which is precisely what you're doing: Sending someone e-mail costs them time and it often costs them money.
As I said having a website invites comments. It's like being a public figure. In effect you are publishing your e-mail address.
4) It's giving us a bad rap, man, and that's the *last* thing the remailer net needs now. The remailers of the world don't exist to provide non-anonymous anonymous advertising, which you could do just as well on your own sending forged e-mail headers from netcom.
Just like all the seedy low life multi-level-marketing jerks! No need to use a remailer for that. Just 2 cents worth. Ross =========== Ross Wright King Media: Bulk Sales of Software Media and Duplication Services http://www.slip.net/~cdr/kingmedia Voice: 415-206-9906
