Repeat: NO ONE who got emailed today was added to any mailing list !! (Without requesting it). 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. Michael Hallager
Rather remove everyone you manually added to the mailing list and let them find your website on their own, if they want to be added they will opt in.

Hello all.
I have just gone through and added a few names to the no-contact list although only about 50% of the people posting so far in this subject so far were ever
emailed in the first place. At last count, about 5 or 6.
The actions of some in threatening mail blocks and in continuing this on NZNOG has made it rather hard for me to asertain who would like to be added. I have already discussed it with others, some who would rather keep the pot boiling... for no obvious reason.... I have tried to sort this out with as many people as possible.
So I repeat - contact me directly with your details and it will happen.
I sincerely apologise again to all who were offended.
