Ever hear of a little company called Publisher's Clearinghouse? You think they can give away all that money by selling fucking magazines? hahahahha They get it by selling your information by the magazines you buy....is brokering email addresses any different than brokering snail mail addresses?

Also, often times, if you dig far enough into privacy policies and TOS of programs, by submitting your email address, you are allowing use of your email address for third party marketing purposes, etc.

Spacedog, what happens if you open this little email program and someone approaches you and ofers you a nice chunk of $$$ for your list (which once you've collected emails, you can also collect information on pics, adverts, etc. that they clicked on and thereby have a nice little profile...) Why would you be wanting to collect emai addresses? oh yeah, because email marketing works? ;)) Hell, I know that at least if the someone is marketing to me and knows my preferences, that helps target my buying needs and...gasp...may even offer me something I want....better than someone spamming me with baldness cures and breast augmentation.........


I just want to know how I ended up on a christian mailing list getting Jesus spammed...if one of y'all are behind it, I just want to say you are a bunch of evil fucks ;))))
