Hi Tracy,

>IMHO, I do not consider that 'spam.'

There our opinions differ.

>I have been the recipient of spam email in the past, and this does not appear to fall into that category.

As have I. This is also spam.

>Personally, I consider it more a personal request to some members of the VFP community.

This was not a personal request, it was an advertisement.

>You can certainly reply asking her not to email you anylonger and I'm sure she would ablige.

I never reply to spam.

>Or better yet, change your UT settings to not display your email address.

I definitely will.

>I hope you personally never need to draw on the VFP community for assistance when you are looking for a job or a contract - because according to your standards, that would be inappropriate.

That's not an accurate comparison.

>I hope I have not offended you for that was not my intention, but you asked.

Whatever the difference between my opinion and that of others, the time taken to pen a reply is appreciated. Thank you.

Regards,

Liam

>>Hi All,

>>Today I received an email from Venelina Jordanova - member ID 036910 - advertising her firm's programming services. I wouldn't place it in the same category as most spams, however it's an unsolicited advertisement using a private email address harvested from the UT.

>>The UT is one of the few places that I use the same email address that I give out to friends and family and until today it hasn't been abused. I reckon I'll be changing it pretty sharpish.
