<h1>Have The Anti Spam Groups Lost Touch With Reality?</h1><p> <br /><br /><br /> Every time I think the anti spam hysteria has gone as far as<br /><br /><br /> they can to make marketer's lives miserable, they prove me wrong<br /><br /><br /> and push the envelope even further.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> The sad part of this problem is there are so many marketers that<br /><br /><br /> sympathize with them. One well know marketer has even gone so<br /><br /><br /> far as to compare myself, and other marketers who feel this<br /><br /><br /> situation has gotten out of hand, to the X-Files.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I really have to laugh at the pot calling the kettle black.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Here are two incidents from one day that will show how absurd<br /><br /><br /> this situation has become.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I received an email from one of my subscribers complaining they<br /><br /><br /> were unable to remove themselves from my list. I emailed them<br /><br /><br /> and let them know I would contact my list provider and do my<br /><br /><br /> best to have the situation corrected as quickly as humanly<br /><br /><br /> possible.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I also asked them to please let me know if they received future<br /><br /><br /> mailings so I could find out why support hadn't corrected the<br /><br /><br /> problem.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> What was their response?<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I received an email two days later. You are still sending me<br /><br /><br /> emails and if it keeps up I'll have to report you as a spammer.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Amazing! How understanding, how charitable.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Imagine the rush it must give someone to be able to hold a sword<br /><br /><br /> over my head. Imagine their feeling of power.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Well I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, but I wouldn't care if<br /><br /><br /> they held a gun to my head, the situation was beyond my control<br /><br /><br /> and their efforts would be better served making their business<br /><br /><br /> grow.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Ah! The X-Files get even thicker!!<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> On that same day I receive an email to my abuse department.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I don't have an abuse department, but nobody said these groups<br /><br /><br /> were populated by geniuses.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> The story even gets better. They were emailing me to report a<br /><br /><br /> spam complaint against a fellow publisher.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Maybe it's me, but it seems slightly foolish to send a complaint<br /><br /><br /> to:<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> 1. A Non existent spam department.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> 2. Asking a board member of E-crucible to reprimand a fellow<br /><br /><br /> publisher.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Wait here's the kicker!!<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I should punish him because one of my articles was in his<br /><br /><br /> newsletter.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I must be dumb as a stump. I never considered punishing a<br /><br /><br /> publisher for running my articles.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Whoa Daddy!! I'm an X-Filer and they're the politically correct,<br /><br /><br /> sane, rational masters of the internet.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> If these are the geniuses ruling the web, I'm more than<br /><br /><br /> satisfied being the dullest ax in the shed.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I owe them a debt of gratitude. Every time I find myself<br /><br /><br /> becoming too complacent, they send one of these foolish threats<br /><br /><br /> and get my blood flowing.<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> In the words of Pat Benatar, "Hit me with your best shot, fire<br /><br /><br /> away."<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> I'm content being the "Unforgiven,"<br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> Wishing You Success, John Colanzi<br /><br /><br /> More <a href="http://www.articlesroom.com">free articles</a> from <a href="http://www.articlesroom.com">http://www.articlesroom.com</a>
