Elitekeyboards' latest offer - everyone's email address
« on: Sun, 22 August 2010, 05:19:29 »
This morning, I was checking my email, when I saw elitekeyboards' newest list. Opening it, I was confronted with a list of everyone's email addresses, hundreds of them, and as I scrolled down, there were more and more of them, seemingly going on forever and ever. Even saw a few familiar names...

I don't recall this arrangement happening with prior newsletters, so I would like to think that this was a once-off screw up on the part of the Majestouch, but at the same time, I am rather concerned by what constitutes as a pretty serious breach of the privacy of all of elitekeyboards' customers.

Well you put yourself at risk when you subscribe to any newsletter. Make a special "newsletters" email account.

Well, if you got the email, you'd probably see it yourself. If you didn't get the email, it makes no difference...

I have it subscribed to an old email address that I don't really use any more. Still...

I sent him a witty reply that paraphrased a certain well-known scene/line from Pulp Fiction...

I didn't get one.
Guess he doesn't like me.

I didn't get anything either, even  though I'm signed up for the newsletter. I'll just have to wonder if I have a whole bunch of new virtual pen pals or not.

That's what I do.  If you get my real email account you're "special".




Okay here's my special ripster ticket, do I get the special real email account now?

I found that ticket at MW's house, it was in one of the dusty computers:

VERY sorry all. This is definitely not intentional, and definitely not in character for me:(  Perhaps a strong sign to me that I'm working too hard, as I'm losing track of and control of what matters. Time for a change...thanks for your continued support, even though I hardly deserve it at this point.
