2005-04-09 - 7:48 p.m. So I'm sitting there: in total ignorance. Innocently checking my inbox and removing the usual "You coming out tonight?" "I'm at the restraunt are you here?" (evidently NOT Todd). You know, usual crap. And then i find it. Dear Sir or Madam, I would like to Thankyou for sending me this highly informative email. I must admit, I have often wondered about the various uses of steel buildings and their benefit to society. So to wake up one morning to this marvellous email in my inbox was quite a treat. Seeing as how I had heard of your organisation before in my entire life (before I started receiving your emails of course), I am extremely interested in how you came by my email address. But far be it for me to automatically delete your message. After all, if we ignore everything we don�t understand then how will we ever grow and evolve? Alas, despite the awe and admiration I feel for your company, I feel a rousing rendition of �Liar, liar, pants on fire� just bursting to come out. You see in section 2.2 of your Privacy policy (9/4/05) it states �The Network uses Individual Information to provide promotional offers by email to individuals who have permitted use of their email address for this purpose.� Further on, in section 2.4, it states: The Network may use Individual Information to advertise or provide promotional offers, directly or indirectly, to individuals using direct mail marketing or telemarketing using telephones, as permitted by law. Now I realise that I have rambled on a bit, and if you are still reading then I greatly value your patience. But I do have a point to make. Despite the many interesting things I have learned as a result of your email, I am less than pleased with your company. I was lead to believe (by your privacy policy Section 2.2, by the attachments to your emails, etc) that if I clicked that little button that supposedly removes my email address from your promotional list, then I would stop receiving emails from you. Yours truly, � � 0 comments so far |
