I have received many complaints from people on this mailing list accusing
me of sending unsolicited advertisements. I have sent no such
advertisements. I have been confused with the real sender of these
advertisements, because of the similarity of our e-mail addresses. Mine
is [email protected]. The real sender of these advertisements is
[email protected]. We are NOT one in the same. I have received repeatedly
the same annoying messages. I know that it may be hard to believe that
two seperate people with such similar e-mail addresses could be on the
same listserv mailing list, but it happened. Juno has threatened to
terminate my e-mail account because of users complaining of junk mail
allegedly sent by me. Anyone who has saved any of these junk messages
will know that not one of them is from [email protected] (me) but from
[email protected] (someone else). Please, do not send any messages to Juno
accusing the me of what I did not do. This would be very sad if I were to
end up losing my e-mail access because some jerk wants to advertise his
stupid business. For now, I have withdrawn from the 4AD mailing list to
avoid any more problems.=( I would like to re-join it soon to keep up
with news on Mojave 3 and Lush (especially since what happened with
Chris). Could someone on the list please forward me info?
Thanks
Daniel
