REMOVE REMOVE ALL Cyber Promotions has stepped over the line. It is highly unethical to subscribe an IETF interest group's mailing list to a junk mail service! Cyberpromo's usual out, "if you don't like it, just hit reply, and say REMOVE", would mean junk replies like this one to every member of the list. Worse, it's not even clear that this removal method can remove mailing lists from their master list. (I will also use mconnect to try to remove this list from theirs.) I suggest we start a class-action lawsuit against Cyber Promotions for invasion of privacy and theft of computer resources. Any takers? - Dan Kegel > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > The following message has been delivered to you via > Cyber Promotions' new "AUTO-SENDER" service. > > If you wish to be REMOVED from *this* mailing list, please > hit reply and type "REMOVE" in the subject or message field. > > If you wish to be REMOVED from *ALL* commercial mailing lists, > please send an email to remove@cyberpromo.com > and type "REMOVE ALL" in the subject or message field. > ... > Read the following testimonials and you'll be convinced. > ... > > "I use the service to remember all the seniors birthdays in our > church.
