While spam (or the appearance of it) affects us all, this list isn't the
best place to discuss companies that allegedly send spam. If all of us
decided to open our hearts out about the various get-rich-quick and porn
spam that we get every day, this list would be flooded. :)

A better idea would be to use the evolt.org contact form (
http://evolt.org/contact ) or send an email to
thelist-admin at lists.evolt.org and let us know.

Since 37Signals are fairly well-known, you might try writing to them
directly and asking how they got your address. (
http://www.37signals.com/contact.php ) If the mail was sent using Topica,
it will also have unsubscribe instructions.

FWIW, I received the same mail, but I AM subscribed to their notification list.
