Pardon me for posting a question that is not related to mailing lists as
such, but I felt a number of you must have expertise on this subject.
In addition to a mailing list I also run a website which is fairly heavily
trafficked. It contains a message board.
In the last twenty-four hours I have started getting emails from something
called "Propagation Networks" (one URL for it is http://propagation.net/).
The email simply notifies that _I_ have posted a message on my own message
board, or that someone else has posted a message replying to one of mine.
I never asked for this service. It does appear to be free of advertising,
at least.
I don't know if only I as "owner" of the site get these announcements, or
if other users do, at least if they have posted email addresses on my site.
I'm posting a message right now to ask if anyone else is getting the
announcements.
What can anyone tell me about this thing? Should I like it, because if
others get the same message it may boost traffic? Or should I hate it,
because it's going to annoy users? Are there any considerations I'm
overlooking?
Thanks in advance for any information.
