Absolutely not! I hate spam marketing as much as you do...thanks to the fact my e-mail address has existed for 10 years now, I get about 10 to 12 times more spam then legitmate email on a GOOD day.
If you're getting mail from the Rotunda that you did not personally subscribe to, then someone else has. please email me at yohannon@rotunda.com and I'll take care of it.
Please, no threats of legal action or repeated rude notes -- that does not motivate me to take care of you any faster.
Yes. Responding to them, however, is an other matter entirely. When I almost dropped them entirely some years ago, I was convinced to allow other people to moderate the lists, for that very reason.
Which is why I back my moderators so strongly...I KNOW how hard a job it is.
Well, it varies a lot. The fat_bdsm list is fairly low traffic, with only a few messages a week. The fat_sex list goes from slow periods of only a few messages a day, to a few dozen. The new announcements list will only be posted to once a week, at most, and usually a lot less. I don't want to deluge you all with commercial announcements!
Sure...send me a note at yohannon@rotunda.com and let me know what the problem is. Be aware that it may take me a while to take care of the problem. Also, sometimes it takes awhile for the list to get to a message, so sometimes you'll receive some mail AFTER you unsubscribed, or it may take while before you receive mail after subscribing.
Not really...definitely no personal ads or (gah) weight loss snake oil. There are some times when I'll permit something to be posted that is of relevance to the list in question, but it must ALWAYS go by me first -- no exceptions.
