Just curious as to why you smudged his email address on the image. Regards, Alvaro

David Wulff

Whilst I don't appreciate what he is doing, there is nothing really wrong with it. He's contacted us privately, made no demands, and he was polite in his request. I don't think the unsolicited nature is enough to justify breaking his confidentiality on it's own. If he had been abusive or asked me to notify him of my objection (opt out rather than in) then I would not have taken that step.

I added him to my blocked senders list. had he simply worked his way through my articles i would just simply say no and be done with it, but he is currently working his way through a second time, after I already denied him permission. Just can't win:|

I considered flaming his ass off, but then realized that he has no idea what our email addresses are unless we reply. Being blessed with an essentially evil mind, I immediately stumbled upon a plot to harvest the emails of thousands of programmers in order to sell them inflatable dates and herbal Viagra substitutes. All you have to do is slam a website for software professionals with unwanted requests to use their code in your private distribution CD. That will piss them off so badly that they'll all immediately write back to you about what a jerk you are, and you'll have your mailing list right there in your Inbox for no cost at all! Isn't that a great idea? Oh wait, I think someone may already have thought of it... Damn.

You're obviously a superstar. In that time, I've had two requests only, from 30 articles. I must suck. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

It'd probably be fairly easy to make a bot that'd post random stupid VB questions, and nobody would probably ever notice - benjymous - 21-Jan-2003

Bloody hell. There goes my work address. Why did I not think of this ? Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

Chris Richardson

Grrrrr, I didn't think of that either. Do you think it would be possible to email him back again (maybe from a different address), telling him that he cannot send unsolicited email to the email address at my work (which was what I sent him the original "NO" from)?

Chris Losinger

i doubt he's even looking at the replies he's getting. from the sounds of it, most people here are saying "no. go away." but he keeps sending more. -c
