Default RE: WARNING: RC Universe

Not only have we never sold our list OR given it away we have NEVER even had a request from anybody who wanted to buy it! If we sold our email list that would be the end of RCU. For the $200 we could get for the list I would hardly think that is worth ruining everyones trust here. If you think we are suspect then hire a shill to offer me any dollar amount on any day and the answer will always be the same response "we don't sell or share our mailing list, period".

Now as mentioned above there are many ways to snag your email. Did you know a site can make a popup and then have a little close button on it. Say you click that close button...innocent right? Nope...clever javascript just got your email. That is one of MANY ways to snag your email. Be careful what you download, click, surf and so on.

If it makes you feel any better I get 100 of those RC spams a day and another 500-1000 of other junk that I have to sift through and waste my time with. I am hoping this new law in the US which fines and jails spammers curbs this. They say junk mail may TRIPLE in the next year or two. Can you imagine? It literally threatens the use of email altogether. Imagine coming home to 60 minutes of voice mails from telemarketers? You would have to sift through all their drivel to get to your messages. Eventually rendering your answering machine useless. Well email is headed that way unless somebody finds a technology solution or makes the fines so high and jail time that most will stop it.
