Salutations;
Recently someone invited me to Twitter and I joined once again.
Twitter asked me to check my contacts, and I forgot the 6 or 7 lists
i am at are in my gmail account, so twitter must have sent an email
to everyone in my gmail account which is a little bit more than 400
people. I had one person threaten to sue me (well in the end he
didnt because he was a nice guy), because of this. I am very sorry.
Please don't sue me or complain to my ISP. It was a mistake. I
apologize for everyone who got emailed. I have taken precautions
this doesnt happen again.
Thanks!
Gilbert
That stuff just happens, Gilbert. No biggie.
But if you don't mind me turning this into a reminder/lesson for us to
all pass to others (not using names or lists), this is just one small
reason to never use those features where we turn over our address book.
There are more great reasons such as privacy and spam. (Privacy
policies are only good until a company is sold or goes into
bankruptcy; then names are sold.) I'm afraid many people do use these
features and most young people are so used the net that they do it
without thinking and won't see any of the reasons.
