I have never posted any "for sale" adds to the NZNOG. I suggest that you take it up with the known culprits for that sort of thing. Michael

It was ONLY AN INVITATION to a small group of targetted people, who's email addresses were in my address book.
Please people, with p-pills, mortgage applications, pirated MS software yada yada, why the need to take out your frustrations on a local known specialised e-commerce business? Despite having my email address all over the place, I receive maybe once a month only an unsolicited professional email offering me something relevant and I find many of these useful or I simply delete.
I have publically apologised several times and still I get emails suggesting that I should "apologise".
Could it be that this is way out of proportion? I am still sorry and disapointed that some people have taken this in an unintended way.
Well, Michael, three years ago, the prospect of receiving unsolicited commercial email didn't appeal to you:

Why should your unsolicited commercial email appeal to anyone else?
