I hate spamming - I receive more than one thousand per week, from people offering millions of
dollars to Viagra. Most goes directly to my spam box because I have created several rules based on
specific words on Outlook which trash them automatically.

We send our lists to more than one thousand collectors, but all of them subscribed on our site since
we started it. We never harvest e-mails on Internet, and if anyone sends me a message asking for a
shell I only include his/her e-mail on my bulk list after a previous approval.

This should be a place for pleasure, not to get bothered.

Let me start out by saying that I don't have a problem with shell dealers, but I do have a problem
with spamming. Above and beyond advertising on the list, I'm getting a bit annoyed about dealers
harvesting names off of the list for conch-o-spamming purposes.

I've been getting very persistent emails from one Florida shop. You'd think they were a used car
dealership what with the bombardment of promotions. Enough is enought, thinks I. There's a link on
the shellspam to be removed from the list. I clicked it and got a message that I was not on their
list, so I could not be removed.         o_O

Of course I kept getting the emails. I tried clicking the link again. Same idiotic automatic
response. So I sent an email directly to the shop address. Now I get a reply email asking me for my
complete email address so I can be removed.    >_<     Say what?

Welcome to the surreal world known as Spamland...

We're here for the clams, not for the spams.
