Thanx for getting me junkmail
Best part of owning a domain is the email server.
You just create a new email just for each company you deal with, and you know where it came from by who it is addressed to. Take the email address I made up just for when I signed up with AMA. I didnt use tower6_09@xxxxxxx because thats the one I made up just for shopping at Tower. I didnt use the grayson@xxxxxx nor the geikotx@xxxxxxx because those are just for grayson and geiko. I made up an email just for AMA, and it even has AMA spelt out in it :D So now when I egt junkmail addressed to grayson@xxxxx I know it was grayson that sold my info. And if I get junk addressed to tc_tx@xxxxx I know it was TC that sold me out to the spammers. So when I get junkmail to the address I only gave to AMA, well, who do you figure sold me out to the spammers? in unrelated news, I just got an 3rdparty e-junkmail offer for AMA members emailed to the address I only gave to AMA. |
RE: Thanx for getting me junkmail
Not entirely trueI have received no junk mail from my AMA account.
there are lots of ways to acquire your email address, that don't involve anybody selling it to somebody else. |
RE: Thanx for getting me junkmail
So then you could quickly and easily void that email addy and send them a new one you create just as easily,, but no, you come online and piss and moan about something you think the ama has once again done wrong. I don't think it a real stretch to say "who cares"
Life's short KE,, Spam is like commercials on TV,, ignore it and you'll be happier |

RE: Thanx for getting me junkmail
Nobody forced you to give them an email address.
Heck, nobody FORCED you to join. |

RE: Thanx for getting me junkmail
Does anyone have a clue as to what KE is trying to prove, what is his point? What does he expect to happen, what does he want to happen? It seems his whole purpose on these forums is to stir the pot, get a meaningless argument started . . . to what end? Some might wonder if he even has a clue.
WAIT FOR IT . . . . |
RE: Thanx for getting me junkmail
Neat thing about MY provider is the spam catcher. If one gets thru, I can mark it SPAM with a button, and next time they don´t get thru.
Sometimes I check the spam bucket for stuff that should get through. All part of having Email. Good luck, Dave Olson |

KE, Please tell us exactly what you are hopping to achieve with this thread. Maybe if it was understood better something might come of it.

Are you telling us as a FACT that it did come from an ama condoned and supplied deal?

RE: Thanx for getting me junkmail
KE-
Just for giggles, did the header on the latest spam start like this: "From: AxxAgeStore.com <[email protected]> To: Special Offer for AMA Members" If so, your contact info along every other Tom, Dick and Harry that pays dues to AMA must have come from some data mining company like AXCIOM. <span style="font-size: smaller;">Yeah, right. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...humbs_down.gif</span> CJ |

" Look, I was only trying to help, and looked at logical things that may or may not have been done. You could have said, "no, I've got the box checked." Instead you went on a rant about assumptions and show and tell. Since you seem to get great joy at pointing out that I (and others)were incorrect or don't know the source of the mystery email (which you have not really identitfied, and at this point, I don't care) I'm done trying to help you. And I'll reserve the right to change my opinions based on more information, thank you very much. Instead of working the issues, you instead want to RA with anyone that offers any semblance of assistance. The fact remains, it is your personal email account, and it is your personal responsibility. I don't care about who or what gets delivered to your personal domain and email server. It's yours, not mine, and IDGAS. <br type="_moz" /> |

RE: Thanx for getting me junkmail
ORIGINAL: Red Scholefield Are you telling us as a FACT that it did come from an ama condoned and supplied deal? (read read read) Nope, I didnt state as a fact that it did. I stated as a fact that I I make up new addresses for each place. I stated as a fact that I got junkmail from the address that I only used for AMA. It didnt use the Tower address I gave to Tower, didnt use the geiko address I gave to the lizard. It didnt use any of the other unique-use addresses I have. And yet folks choose to believe someone data-mined KE so hard that they got a gazillion other ama member addresses from mining KE (aka magical ubermining) just so they can lay the blame on me I presented the information I have, and some info we all have. And folks responded akin to saying it is my fault for being data-mined (not that AMA partnered with someone). So Red, are you saying as a fact that AMA didnt give that address out, are you saying as a fact that they did, or are you gonna say maybe / maybe-not because they might have? |
RE: Thanx for getting me junkmail
ORIGINAL: corch Look, I was only trying to help, and looked at logical things that may or may not have been done. This look familiar- "you really have no one to blame but yourself" "If you want to continue to B&M about junk/spam" You tried, and did, BLAME ME for the problem. You didnt ask if my box was check, You didnt say Hey, look if that box is checked. You instead took a shot at laying condescending blame on me. You could have said, ''no, I've got the box checked.'' yet thats exactly what you didnt do. Had you tried being civil and helpful rather than laying blame on something you dont know maybe you would have gotten a response from me that didnt call you out for your false accusation. To wit: I wouldnt have had to call you out on your accusatory fingerpointing if you hadnt had pointed your accusatory finger. .... don't know the source of the mystery email (which you have not really identitfied, and at this point, I don't care) I'm done trying to help you. And I'll reserve the right to change my opinions based on more information, if you waited for, or asked for, some information before jumping at the chance to lay unfounded blame. Read post#1. Quote where I declared that AMA did it and I blame them. See, I dont have to recant any blaming AMA because I didnt jump to unfounded conclusions. I stated some facts and the RA crowd here rushed to blame me for something that AMA might have done Oh, just to be clear, you are never going to actually apologize for your boxcheckery fingerpointing, are you? |
