There is a difference between receiving mail you wish to and in the normal course of events and some pest or groups of pests who persistently send unwanted garbage! In some cases as once happened to be there so much spam in my e-mail expected and wanted mail could not be sent with resulted in my having to obtain a new e-mail address!ukdesigner wrote:so what's the difference then to an email and a leaflet that's dropped in your letterbox?
You have therefore contradicted your own argument and as for the onus being on the individual to have an 'acceptable spam filter' you should remember not everybody has that technical capability or would know how to use any available software. The bad reputation e-mail has, has nothing to with penis enlargement and mail order brides, that's just you looking for an excuse to justify sending unwanted trollop!banana wrote:
That said, I don't buy email addresses as there are far better (and acceptable) ways to reach out to the masses. E-mail marketing has a bad rep thanks to the penis enlargement and mail order bride industries. That doesn't mean it's a bad or unethical method, just that it raises the bar on how it is used.
how exactly have I contradicted myself? I have simply stated my own opinions on the matter, you have zero knowledge of what I do or not do. I'd appreciate if you got a hold of yourself before jumping on someone's throat.Plavt wrote:You have therefore contradicted your own argument and as for the onus being on the individual to have an 'acceptable spam filter' you should remember not everybody has that technical capability or would know how to use any available software.

You yourself said: 'if you give out your e-mail address in any shape or form the onus is on you to have an acceptable spam filter.' In the same post you also said 'there are far better (and acceptable) ways to reach out to the masses. Therefore the more acceptable ways should be used. I have no interest in what you do and as for your uppity reply it would be good idea if you would remember this is a public forum not a place for banana or anybody else to foist his or her own ideology down everybody else's throat.banana wrote: how exactly have I contradicted myself?

Is that not what you're doing though? You had a bad experience with spam and decided every single email marketer is the devil's spawn. And that everyone has to agree with you or else. Pot, meet kettle?Plavt wrote:You yourself said: 'if you give out your e-mail address in any shape or form the onus is on you to have an acceptable spam filter.'

Oh dear run out of constructive arguments have you? No I did not decide 'every single email marketer, is the devil's spawn.' I have watched more than one documentary and talked to many a stranger who I find has exactly the same feelings, something you obviously are or wish to remain oblivious too. Why am I not surprised?banana wrote: Is that not what you're doing though? You had a bad experience with spam and decided every single email marketer is the devil's spawn.

I haven't even offered an ideology.In fact, if anyone is foisting his or her own ideology down anyone's throat, it would be you.
Statements like the one above show just how desperate you are when somebody disagrees with you, as for the financial crisis I am in some respects having a good laugh. Seems you are the one throwing a tantrum and being got down by the financial crisis.You are the one that's jumping up and down and generally throwing a tantrum. Financial crisis getting you down?
I don't know Plavt, why aren't you? If I were to hazard a guess, it would be that you failed to comprehend my first post. But hey, you've watched many documentaries and talked to strangers. You must be right. Whatever it is you're implying.Plavt wrote:Oh dear run out of constructive arguments have you? No I did not decide 'every single email marketer, is the devil's spawn.'

Not really. I'm actually hoping the pound drops further. But that's besides the point. Read the whole thread again and perhaps you might see that you were showing uncalled for aggression. What happened Plavt? You used to be much more objective.Plavt wrote:I haven't even offered an ideology.In fact, if anyone is foisting his or her own ideology down anyone's throat, it would be you.![]()
