This is the very archetype of UCE, though... someone who harvests
names off a web site/newsgroup/mailing list and then tries to
justify dumping stuff in my mailbox because I *must* be interested
in it.  To which I say (and you can check DejaNews to find out how
often I use vulgarities in a newsgroup):  bullshit.

I've seen more than enough Tribenet fooferah in the newsgroup to
know whether I'm interested in it or not (I'm not), and to know
where to go if I was.  I subscribed to rec.games.pbm (yes, O Mighty
Usenet Traditionalists, that *is* the correct term when using uqwk
and soup packets), not to a Tribenet list, not to a Roaming Panther
binary distribution list, not to anything but rec.games.pbm.
Understand?

Good, because if anybody does email me, they'll get put on the
Lifetime Subscription List for all of the Phoenyx games.  That's
thirty-some lists right now but hey, if you're interested in talking
to me, you *must* be interested in everything the Phoenyx offers,
right?
