    Cool Macosx.com Mug (was: Shame on MacOSX for Emailing Me)

    I do NOT appreciate being spammed by this site. Shame on this forum for shamelessly spamming its members to hawk a TEE SHIRT, for god's sake. CUT IT OUT.

    Gee got a head ache now

    Think the t-shirts are cool, the email didn't feel like a spam to me, it's something I subscribed to and they just informed me, they have t-shirts for sale if I want one. If you don't want one, just ignore the link they put in the email.

    Seen worse spamming and if macosx gives my email out to be spammed by anyone else, well those HUGE letters would be Red as well. But I'm sure they won't do that.

    Wasn't it nice that it was a plain text email and not full of graphics downloaded from some other web server?


    Hey macosx when the caps and coffe mugs come out could you email me and not ChicagoLarry, ta

    We'd be happy to not include Larry if he would just unset his mail settings in the Forums control panel to not receieve email from forum administrators. 15,000 members have opted to not get the mail, so I don't think it's a hidden feature.

    I'll be happy to send out a complimentary email on the hat and coffee mug.

    You'd figure that all Mac users would be able to figure something out like opting out of the e-mails in the Forums control panel. Go figure....I guess every group's gotta have em.

    I kind of expected to get e-mails especially since I frequent this site. I figure if I want to be a part of the site I would want to get some updates about it as well.

    -That may be true but perhaps he did not notice that option because of the feature's lack of huge capitals?
