Re: Important notice from FileCrest.com
File Crest spake unto us the following wisdom: This is Sam from FileCrest.com. Our site has combined the best, most popular, free, open source, demo and trial software and drivers in a simple to navigate website. FileCrest provides new updates as well as old versions of the software and strives to build an active user community. Because sometimes people reply to emails like this with something other than flat refusal ... This email has been marked as spam in the pidgin.im spam filters. This sort of request is spam, plain and simple. Not only is this blatant advertisement, but the sender didn't bother to find out anything about the available mailing lists or project structure. Don't dignify it with a data-carrying response, it just encourages this sort of behavior. Ethan signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
