I don't think so.. I haven't received anything from them personally. If they were harvesting addresses, my guess would be that there would be more traffic and/or complaints. The only exposure that I have had to them is here on the list. With that being said, I am *highly* amused when one does come through. The whole notion of an 'elite' is questionable at best (unless they are in the business of proving their members as such) and affixing the letters BMC on the front is just icing on the cake unless they are sactioned. Heh. IMNSHO - they could have used the name 'remedy monkeys/guys/cyborgs/people/whatever' and got the same effect. Remind me not to laugh when someone claims to be an 'elite' like their poop don't stink.
Mon Oct 20 2008 04:16:39 PM CDT from Pierson, Shawn to arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: BMC Elite? ** Basically, I opted out before, but I started getting it again. I'm assuming they pull email addresses from the ARS List whether we signed up or not, and even if we opt out, when they harvest the email addresses here again, it apparently overwrites the opt out. That is where the violation takes place, in my opinion. Obviously, lawyers and such would be required to determine that for sure in court. However, it seems obvious to me that they are violating the opt out portion of the law. From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mayfield, Andy L.

Same here. I wonder if they know that they are violating the CAN-SPAM Act. Perhaps we should find out who is behind it, as they can be fined $11,000 for each individual email they send out.

I ignored their initial invitation but continue to get these mailings. I don't want to opt out and alert them that there is a human associated with this address. Dore anyone know if the site is legit and will actually remove me from their mailing list? Their marketing tactics seem pretty unprofessional so maybe just adding them to a junk mail filter is more appropriate...
