Yes he can add you to a spam list.YOU won't have any control over that, no
matter what you type at the end of the forms.
Just some friendly facts.


Yeah, I know that. The spam notice still dissuades soem.

Ok, this is funny. I talked with a friend of mine this morning who is

in
the fishing industry in this area. Aaron with RI called him and asked

if
he
new me. My friend asked me what I said in my "e-mail" to him that got

him
so ticked off.

So I told him I asked why he was discriminating against Arizona, and if

it
was a mistake from an incompetant web developer or if it was an over

site.

Now, I have to add... It was not actually an e-mail. The only way I

found
to
contact RI was through a reply form on their website which forces you to
register as a member of their site first, and then fill in all kinds of
information including phone numbers and e-mail addresses in order to

simply
ask a question. I could not even find a phone number on their site

until
after going through all of that.

One thing I do and many others do as well is add a NO SPAM statement at

the
end of the comment section for any form that forces you to give out all

that
information.

Mine goes soemthing like this:

The e-mail, telephone, and other information given is for the sole and
express purpose of doing business at MY CONVENIENCE. There will be a

$500
charge for dealing with unsolicited phone calls or e-mails.

My friend told me, that was the part that ticked him off and got him
swearing at me when he called me. ROFL.

I guess Aaron doesn't have to set up filters to delete and sort a couple
hundred spam per day like I do. Either that or he was ticked off that

he
couldn't add my e-mail address to his spam list. LOL.
