Dear Ron, >Sune, to answer your statements: > 1) Fraction of a second? Frank didn't hesitate to waste the entire > forums time, not to mention CCC bandwidth. (INCONSIDERATE!) Talk about misuse of bandwidth.

So next time you use Google or buy a book from Amazon, you don't mind if they start sending you mails about their other products, after all you were a user of their business so they must have the right to spam you? > 3) His so-called legit question, violating the charter guidelines, did > not reach ICD by email, but via his whining on the forum.

It is SPAM, no way around it! Personally I have no clue as to why people here want that crap, but I guess americans are more used to it than europeans. > 5) Instead of making a legitimate request, Frank gave Steven Schwartz > an ultimatum, "either stop the spam or remove me from CCC."

The questions still remains why you don't get people to sign up for this "offer"? Could it be, that you already know that nobody would ever sign up to recieve spam?
