| |
A few weeks ago you may recall that I claimed that I had reason to believe that a company was using snapshots of the vger mailing lists to use for junk mailings to innocent people.
I never found out if this was in fact how they gathered their lists to send junk mails to. However, the company that tripped me off on this was in fact WorkGroup Solutions Inc. When I had received the advertisement, many others I know told me they had as well. I specifically sent them a response that said something along the lines of "Please remove me from these mass mailings, or I will pursue this matter legally."
Yet, just today I received yet another advertisement for a different product from "WGS News (wgsnews@gcs.com)"
I think this is an outrage, and I think many other Linux hackers are being bombed with this mailings as well.
I would encourage people to send WorkGroup Solutions Inc. your feelings on this matter. I sure as hell will.
