Now this is "CRAP!" I guess I will have to change my settings so I cannot be e-mailed. However, RCU was not listed in the reply, or sender box.

I got something similar a few months back. I forwarded it to the RCU support email address and got a reply from the Admin saying he deleted the user's account. I haven't had a problem since.

I get the emails related to topics & discussion, I have participated in, quite a bit, and I don't have a problem with that. That's why we are here. But when some manufacture or business trys to sell me a engine, and uses RCU, that Pi##@# me off.

He's been shut down I think. I will ask someone in the moderator forum to look into it.

I just got a spam e-mail from a hobby biz trying to get me to pre-order a TF Cessna 310 because I participated in the thread on it. The spam e-mail said it was because of RCU.

Hey Cyclic: you sent me a PM. I have replied twice and you have not anwered back. Are my PM's getting thru?

Okay, cool. I sent another PM to another fellow who usually answers too but have not heard back so I was thinking maybe my PM's were on the fritz. Glad to hear they are working normal.

RCU does not send spam. However, manufacturers, distributors, etc. have easy access to RCU. All they have to do is to look right here in the forums to find lots of possible sales.

That's why you should never post an email address or phone number in the forums.
