Did you unknowingly sign up with them

It sounds like one of those "Do good" groups and they never accept me

Well you can quit the group and block emails. No more problems

Man it's bad when they don't accept a guy. Don't feel bad I have had metal detecting clubs snub me.

 

[Midwest Murph]

Getting them here, too. I would say they are having some kind of technical difficulty today.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Never got even one....Spam them back, send them about 25 emails all saying the same thing, "since you like to send spam here is some for you"......

 

[jeff of pa]

I have no way to block Emails, I can only send them directly to my trash,
but they will still set off My "new mail" tone,
forcing me to check my mail.

Your email should give you the option to mark a sender as spam which will block or automatically send to your spam folder.

Yeah, tried to sign up again today and got the following reply

No thanks, we know who you are

I have never seen or found the option in my Outlook express.
Comcast has mark as spam but has never actually blocked anything.
besides once this stops if a ring or other lost item is reported locally I Don't want to necessarily block notification,
if not absolutely necessary. just wanted this to stop.


anyway

just received this.

Man that would piss me off too. Maybe some hacker got to them.

 

[Hosensack]

Jeff, I was getting them as well. I thought he was just accidentally sending to all for everyone he sent out. I see it has stopped though.

Jeff, thanx for reporting John Hawken's answer to us. I too had received about a dozen repeat back-to-back emails, and wondered "what's this all about?" thanx for clearing that up.
