[email] [spam] 2005 Women of the Red Cross Calendar Sale!
Alan J. Wylie
Note: sent to the Message-ID of a posting to news:alt.folklore.urban
in September 2000.
Note: sending unsolicited marketing e-mail to an individual in the UK
is an offence under the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC
Directive) Regulations 2003.
Someone in the US Red Cross is clearly gullible enough to have bought
a "millions" CD, and spammed the addresses contained on it.
I expect to receive an apology from the Red Cross for this blatant
disregard for my rights and UK law, and confirm that the individual
responsible has been reprimanded, and removed from any position where
they may henceforth bring the Red Cross into further disrepute.
