Larry,
I don’t understand why it bothers you that some people (eg, Aurich) want to remove their email addresses from lists receiving marketing emails, that others (eg, Brian) want to know who has their email address or that others (eg, me) want to control which of my email addresses get sold to sponsors.
These are questions of basic courtesy. Reading the posts above, I don’t think anyone has voiced their concerns in a disrespectful manner or wrote anything inflammatory. I find the comments to be constructive.
If you don’t mind receiving the emails, that’s fine. But I don’t feel it’s helpful to tell others that their concerns simply have no merit.
