Topica SPAM [RE-wrenches]

[Steve Bell]

Michael,
Thanks for the suggestion. The "PLEASE REMOVE MY E-MAIL ADDRESS FROM YOUR
DATA BASE" was intended to be part of the message I would send to any
unknowing spammer that Topica might give my address to. I can see how Topica
might interpret that line as a request to remove my address from
RE-wrenches. I should have been more clear in my message.
Sincerely,
Steve Bell

> Your message to Topica looked good, but they might take this part to mean
that you want to be removed from their data base entirely, which would
remove you from any Topica lists you are on. Better to specify that you want
them to remove you from any lists or data bases that you have not subscribed
to.
