I am actually a subscriber to their newsletter, and a number of Yahoogroups 
to which they had been sending it (yes, I know about Yahoogroups, but I use 
an address that is already spam-heavy, so I just filter and LART). I just 
sent Marc Ash a piece of my mind. They had been subbing these lists to 
their list, much of the time without asking anyone who admined the lists, 
or the people who were members. This is extremely poor netiquette, and it 
certainly does qualify as spamming. If this is how they're handling 
distribution to discussion groups, I imagined they might have other issues 
as well with UBE, and I knew it was only a matter of time before this 
happened. They know not the wrath they incur, but they will very quickly. 
I'm hoping they get a clue and quick, and I've told them I'm done with them 
as a subscriber or reader if they can't find one.
