Good Lord, you guys actually read this crap before deleting it? It's kinda dangerous, no?

Here's the running dialog and final results. And for the record, FlyerTalk has never - or even considered - selling or renting it's member database

Dear Randy

Thank you for your e-mail. I have deleted all the e-mails from our address book.

Could you please let me know how I may advertise on your site and what are the costs.

Kind regards

As the CEO of Fairchilds I really can’t think of any other business that would have a policy different than ours. You might rethink this Internet stuff as people are getting pretty tired of the spam.

Dear Randy

Thank you for your e-mail. Apologies for our direct mail shot. I will delete the info.

Please accept my sincere apologies - I did not know of your policy.

Kind regards

We’ve got a problem Ron. I own FlyerTalk and we do not allow others to harvest information about members in order to spam them. Your attached email is that. I would appreciate it if you delete everything you have as I will be taking this up with those that run your outfit. Very poor decision on your behalf.

Good day,
Randy
