Ok, if some of you haven't already seen, I am running a special, and this company, Itranquil.net decideds to email me with the same package just .5 cents left. It makes no sense, because I am a web host too. Has anyone else received this email?

Hi,

We have a unbeatable special right now. 200 meg of space, 5 gig of bandwidth
each month for $19.95 per year! (USD)

This is a limited offer due to the recent expansion of our business so naturally
we emailed those who have been interested in the past.

Visit http://itranquil.net/deep.htm to sign up.

Appreciated!

This bit's especially laughable... :)

Hi,

Saw this post and who got this email. We do not spam but keep a list of people who have enquired recently to send a follow up email to.

I myself have got these types of emails from many hosts when I was looking for various packages in the past.

We do not keep a mailing list. We used this tool to compile the list and will not use it again. I am sure I am the only one who late at night makes these types of errors.

I have respected TheTechs posts and his professional attitude on this forum so I have apologised for this error to him.

It would have been better to write an abusive email back to me rather than post it here as then I would have had the chance to reply.

Thanks for your time. Feel free to email me or whatever.
