There's a very clear distinction between "an obvious spammer" and a mass marketing company. If you've signed up for these kinds of announcements from Red Hat and they chose to use a 3rd party company to send you those e-mails, it's not spam. Nobody says that chtah.com is allowed to do anything else with the information. Frankly, I'd be surprised if they didn't have an explicit contract that prevented them from doing anything else with the info. There are a lot of legitimate businesses out there that have contracts to either mail paper or e-mail to customers. We shouldn't force Red Hat to do everything in house - sometimes they'll contract functions of their business out and there's nothing wrong with that. > while i may be wrong, it seems that chtah.com is trying to ride the > coattails of the recent legit announcement to sucker folks into > signing up with *them*. I'm sure your wrong. In fact, you're so far off base you're a county over. :-) -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
