Loon,
Almost said that sp word, didn't ya?
Yes, we are aware of the error, hopefully corrected on most of the e-mails, and sorry in advance to those of you who receive multiple copies. We are definitely having some issues with the program used to send newsletters out.
Practice will make perfect.
As for the html only on this one, yes, in the future it will be both html/text. Sorry if you can't read it, but if you can't, go to:

Didn't get one either. Is it using the email in the user profile here or the MyInet thingy?

There is still about 40,000 to send, so you might not have got it yet.

To my knowledge (and don't hold me to this as I had virtually nothing to do with it) it's being sent to all members in good standing on WHT.

I read it and it seemed to be lacking in the news section. The bulk of it was a sales pitch to become a Premium Member. I'm hoping that future newsletters will have more news and less emphasis on purchasing a membership.
Are the newsletters going to be a regular monthly thing here at WHT?

I just have a question;
How is the sending of more than 40,000 unsolicited emails without even an opt-in list not a violation of the Can-Spam act of 2003 ?

That's not true Sheps, I'm not a customer of iNet and I have never signed up for anything that has to do with iNet. You should read the link I posted as it clearly states the criteria.
Not to mention the fact that I have the following option:
Allow Bulletin Board Administrators and Moderators To Send You Email Notices?
Checked to NO in my profile.

I unsubscribed from the newsletter as I agree it was just a sales pitch. I thought the newsletter was for only WHT "Paying" members?
Don't look for a way out.

Anytime I have ever tried to unsubscribed from SPAM I end up getting it replaced with hundreds more pieces of SPAM.

Highly doubtful. If you don't want the newsletter just unsubscribe.

Does that unsubscribe link even work? It seems to be a "sample" page from the mailing list software manufacturer...

Well I have a "highly doubtful" and a "definitely" so far. All I am really looking for is a yes or no.
Also, can someone point me to the Privacy Policy for WHT?

At the bottom of the rules page. It states they will not release member information without a court order.

Although, as JTY just said, the Forum Guidelines page states that information will not be given without a court order.. . . Also, can someone point me to the Privacy Policy for WHT?
However, it appears to be a 404 now.Last edited by SoftWareRevue; 03-30-2004 at 11:44 PM.
There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

I was sorta joking when I said that. Just poking fun at a few of the people that consider this spam...IT is against WHT's Privacy Policy

I think I'll take Dennis' advice and wait for an iNet representative to post the accurate answer.
