spying on you. Important, you might want to bother reading this

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks.....

 

I normally seldom crosspost, but when I got wind of this......

 

This came from a friend who does IT for the day job...

 

has done marheting favors for it's users...before....The run their

program as yer in, unless you opt out...

 

I've opted out before, but it's a little more work to do so this time....

 

Thought I'd keep you in the loop...

 

There's probably more of this stuff going on with other outfits....but I

know this applies to everyone who's reading it <G>....

 

Here it is, as I received it......

This information was passed on to me by the owner of several

groups that I belong to. I went to the site and did as instructed.

Might just be worth your time.

Please forward this to your other groups. You might complain, too, but

I'm not sure if anyone is listening. I remember when they signed all

users up to get spam and we had to opt out of that a few years ago.
