Most interesting of all, my email didn't get picked up at all, but the blogh entry picked up an unusual amount of traffic in the days before receiving a reply from the president of that association. Blog-power. Is nice. Especially for fisting.

Earlier this week I had to slap down a client whose Internet presence is hosted through my server for the usual sin: a bulk email to everyone they'd ever been in touch with ever, with no way to unsubscribe. There's something rather satisfying about writing an email whose subject line begins "FIRST AND FINAL WARNING"... <strong>Sweet Sister Morphine:</strong> Don't forget your hat and coat on your way out. @Sabian: The story you link to hardly surprises me.
