Hi James
This seems too obvious to be true - if they abuse their own system, don't you
think they would very soon be out of business - ?
Here's what they say themselves:
o Our whole service depends on us protecting your privacy
And:
o At any time you can totally unsubscribe and you will not be
contacted again
Anyway, I gave them a 'personalized' email address that I don't use at other
places, and that I can drop immediately if necessary ;)
