hi i just got some spam mail from a 'loise sakana' (dialmovies@gmail.com),whom i do not know,and i just realised all the email addresses on her list of sent people are regular blogger on SK like cindano,tusker baridi,wendz,plisner etc. Is SK passing on our email addresses to 3rd parties??? SK can you advise....

is that why am getting serious fan mail......

and fantastic offers beyond this world .....???



I'm the real Massey F.....shut your mouth

@Kagizzard

I dont mind being sent promotional material,or guys introducing their business to me via my email address...what i find really arrogant is somebody just exposing everybody else's address to ALL and sundry. I by the way,also push my business via email..and i make my cash online through people i know,and those that i dont. But clearly..one must learn basic internet etiquette if they have to thrive in this dot com times. I have nothing against the dude having my address and sending me stuff,because i gave my address to him. What am against is him exposing everyone's address,If i was an address collector...i would have harvested a lot of addresses from his emails and then gone ahead to flood innnocent people's inboxes with promotional stuff without their consent,or even sold the addresses(there are always people willing to buy..)

We're here on SK to grow,and help others grow too in the process.....'Loise' is a very young lad,trying to make some cash..but he must be prepared to learn some things(even if through the hard way) for the future sucess of his business. I have nothing against him as a person or his business BTW


Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't..

@Kamaa

Pole,i'd written that hastily....what part would you like clarified my dear?

@Kamaa,I dont like know the 'loise' personally... There's a dude behind that email address who delivers movies,and he delivered some to me a while back. I gave him my email address so that he can be updating me whenever he has movies that suit my taste. Unfortunately,he started sending me mails with like 50+ other people's exposed there(on cc) and when i wrote to him requesting that he do the honourable thing and bcc the addresses...i think he either didnt understand,or took it the wrong way.

Anyway,what i meant in my earlier post was that i wilingly gave him my address,and that he didnt steal mine(i was actually responding to @jerry who'd asked us to explain if the dude had stolen our addresses)

@ leona got you..

you've heard me..

@why lie,It's clear you didnt get the point. This is a very serious business discussion. The movie guy is trying to grow his small business,and in so doing..he needs to learn some business etiqutte if he plans on suceeding. The discussion on how to handle peoples' addresses and other confidential contacts goes beyond the guy in question. Other people viewing the thread and looking at it from a a business angle are bound to benefit and improve their biz skills. The addresses in question were exchanged outside SK,for personal use and not openly on the forum.

@majimaji usiwe majimaji. You only need to google some to these things!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_carbon_copy

'In the context of e-mail,blind carbon copy (abbreviated Bcc:) refers to the practice of sending a message to multiple recipients in such a way that conceals individual email addresses from the complete list of recipients.

While now associated almost exclusively with e-mail and other electronic messaging,the term originates with typewritten documents. In a now-rare practice,a typist produces multiple copies of a document by alternating one or more layers of carbon paper between sheets of blank paper. When the typewriter letter strikes the paper,the carbon transfers to the paper,producing a copy. In some circumstances,the typist must ensure that multiple recipients of such a document not see the names of other recipients. To achieve this,the typist can:


Add the names in a second step to each copy,without carbon paper
Set the ribbon to not strike the paper,which leaves names off the top copy (but may leave letter impressions on the paper)

To specify recipients,an e-mail message may contain addresses in any of these three fields:


To: Primary recipients
Cc: Carbon copy to secondary recipients—other interested parties
Bcc: Blind carbon copy to recipients who receive the message without others,including the To: and Cc: recipients,seeing who else received it

It is common practice to use the Bcc: field when addressing a very long list of recipients,or a list of recipients that should not (necessarily) know each other,e.g. in mailing lists.'

Blaming sk on this for me is riduculous given the way fellows have been throwing email addrfesses!!!!

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

Get smart. Dont use your ordinary emails on sk or simply check the 'hide' box on your profile to hide your emails.

I`m officially tha realest,point blank period! T.I.
