Aviram, Nadav,Ira,Shachar, Herouth, Didi (and everyone else on the list) who took me to task, slashed, and burned me in effigy ;-)
I apologize for spamming. Several points in response --- if I may: 1. The unsubscribe buttons Opts-out immediately - this was tested in IE and Mozilla and seems to work for me - I would not have sent it out without a working optout having said that; - I will manually go thru the list and make sure that all linux-il names are removed. 2. Ira (this is for you) I bought software.co.il 8 years ago for $25. We have had a site up for almost 4 years with people registering randomly at the rate of 3-5/day ..... 3. Two add'l points of fact: a. We make no secret of providing Linux training and consulting services to Nes - and I believe there is no law against providing training for Suse Linux although personally I prefer RH b. There IS a problem of source code leakage like it or not and for every person on linux-il who was pissed off at me - we received email from people who are interested in hearing how we can help them with Linux-based solutions and consulting services to help protect their digital assets. br danny ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aviram Jenik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Linux-IL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 12:16 PM Subject: Re: spam (was: Looking for a Good Web-Forum Implementation) > On Thursday 11 November 2004 11:29, Herouth Maoz wrote: > > Quoting Nadav Har'El <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > I got the same spam, and believe me, I also never registered to this > > > "software.co.il" mailing list.
