Fw: Special Alert!

[Guest guest]

Folks, do you know who's sending this stuff (below)? It is obviously

targeted to a special needs population, as though our addresses were

being harvested from one of these two lists, the only two for I am on for

special needs. I saw someone on one of these lists write a note about an

unscrupulous person pulling addresses off of the list several days ago,

so I am assuming that list might be being harvested for names again.

I have one response to this kind of thing--I automatically send it to the

" abuse " folks at my domain and theirs. So pls don't make the mistake of

sending commercial solicitations to people whose names have been

harvested from a special needs list. Sometimes people don't initially

realize that that is wrong and what a breach of privacy that is. Pls be

advised that I for one do not take having my mailbox clogged with junk

lightly. Sincerely, M.

Rare thinking people like yourself, know how important it can be

own spelling mistakes, will progress twice as fast as one

without.
