Really? Well, I am a developer who uses FoxPro, so it would seem that this mail is "on-topic"... I also have remarkably small breasts so I'd say that one is on-topic as well <bg>.
Also, btw, I have no illusion that my desire to know who sells our emails will change the habit (in fact, most attempts by the masses to change *anything* fail miserably ...). But that doesn't stop me, on a personal level, from wanting to try to not be part of it, where I can avoid so. An analogy: I don't think my avoidance of products tested on animals will change a damned thing in this world, but I still avoid them because it matters to me on a personal level. (Spam is not of the same severity as animal torture, but my approach is not dissimilar [I just wanted to add that because I recognize that the art of the analogy is largely a lost art in our culture and I don't want to be flamed by anyone who thinks I am accusing the foxessential folks of animal cruelty.])
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. - Bertrand Russell
