This kinda ticks me off. I just got spammed from a vendor of VOIP products. I won't state the name and provide them advertising, but why would I stop by their LotusPhere booth if they are already sending me spam? I get enough email after LotusPhere (when I get to attend) from vendors I authorized to send me email by allowing them to scan my badge.

I know a lot of other folks also got this email as the "To" list was very long indeed. But I am curious as to how they got my email address as I've never visited their site or been interested in VOIP products, not really anyways. And if they did scan my badge at a past LotusPhere isn't it kind-of late to be emailing me now?

That user list came from an abuse of the Bleedyellow IM server. The user's account has been terminated.

Thanks Nathan for the clarification. I think it's a shame that a business in our industry, which lets face it, is pretty small comparatively speaking, would take advantage of such an awesome service that is geared for Lotus Professionals and friends to collaborate and participate in. I understand the motivation, but you would think that they would be aware that the word would travel pretty fast that their ethics may be questionable Emoticon
