Reply #49: Your analogy does not work

[MeinaShaw]

"So what if DU decided to send every DUer some information about a new book for sale. Yet, lets say a republican happened to be on the list."

If DU sent out a email promoting a book and it went to register members of DU that had previously agreed to receive the emails (promotions), then there is no problem. That includes any Puke lurkers that signed up. Frankly, since DU is free unless you want to donate (every donate btw), then a promotion from them is fine by me - as long as I agreed to receive it.

But you are mixed up if you think that is the same as someone harvesting my email address and then sending junk mail I never asked for. Your analogy does not work.
