Grrr. More unsolicited emails, this time from another source. Someone advertising a website for Nick Drake, whose URL shall be nameless at least in this mail because they don't need more publicity, appears to have taken it upon themselves to send unsolicited emails to list members, including me. I'd say this was genuine ignorance of internet courtesy from a novice if it wasn't for the facts that: (a) he's mailing from different email addresses, hotmail accounts, not from his main one on the website, presumably because he's getting complaints, (b) he's not responding to emails asking him to stop, (c) he's selling something on his website, thus the need to act illegally, presumably, which doesn't really seem fair seeing none of us are selling something. Presumably he thinks we're fair game because we've been known to wear cardigans and duffle coats and all that. I bet he wears a suit. I won't bore you to tears: there's a bit more information under "What's New" on the Sinister webpage. The effect of this is, unfortunately, that I've had to take the membership lists offline for now: sorry, as I know some of you found this convenient to check your subscriptions. Maybe the person who's doing this (who is probably a member under yet another email address) could just stop? If you do need to search for an email address, or check your own subscription, you can still use the email search form at: http://www.missprint.org/cgi-bin/listee.cgi I mean, you know? If you'd like to tell me you've been receiving these junk emails, it'd be useful if I have to take more steps to stop it: again, just send me a *blank* email with "junk email from nick drake site" in the subject. My world is still fragrant.
