AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
I can live with receiving spam. I can't live with companies that
have bogus "remove" email files or removal URLs that lead to nowhere.
Nevertheless, that's a subject for CTF, not here.

I can only assure all CCC and CTF members that we have NEVER,
EVER given nor sold emails addresses of anyone to anyone, period!

Seems to me that trying to get them one at a time from members
who post is pretty lame. They must be a first class organization
if that is what they are doing.

I received one of those myself but since my address was a Bcc,
it does not show which address they actually emailed to.
AAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!
