I never get either.

Never heard of them before, untill this thread, then I visit their site this morning...

Then 5 minutes ago I get one of their glorious advertising emails, otherwise known as spam.

Guess I should put together one of my own and fire it off to them every 20 minutes....

Doubt it. They've recently started on their campaign, and almost any online mailto email address will start to be hit by them.

390438 2005-09-23 10:59:00 Ah well, I hit their "remove from mailing list" crap, though I don't see why I should have to have done so.

If I get another then I go to war.

390441 2005-09-23 23:33:00 . . . when it comes from a local NZ business it's twice as bad . . . . . . . . . . . . Sheesh!

info@computersonline . co . nzI got some Spam from "Alastair Shannon" < alastair@jansen . co . nz > (AK branch) after attempting to do some bizzo with them via E . I advised the local CHCH branch how annoying i found it . This involved much swearing about that ass in AK who i will now never deal with . I also pointed out that this puts me off doing any online bizzo with the company as they cannot be trusted with my details . Lack of trust has inspired me to look elsewhere for suppliers .

The Spam has stopped . I am again a regular client of CHCH branch where i spend all my disposable income . Funny how they didn't want to see that situation altered . :stare:

I think pointing out that spam inspires one to look elsewhere is a VERY effective way of getting it turned off . Local businesses can be dealt with easily in this way . :D
