[thelist] Fed Up!

[Madhu Menon]

Oops, one very important thing I forgot to mention about avoiding spam.

Many sites have a little "gotcha" in their signup process . This is usually 
a checkbox that says something along the lines of "Site XYZ ocassionally 
sends out special offers from our partners. Uncheck this box if you don't 
want to receive such mail".

The sad part is that this box is almost always checked by default and 
sometimes the language is made really obscure so people won't bother 
reading all of it.

ALWAYS uncheck this box in the registration process. Don't let the sites 
pull a fast one on you.
