[RTC List] spam from Commercial Radio & Electronics

[William Van Hefner]

I've been on the list for quite awhile, and I didn't receive anything from
them.

Just out of curiousity, who is YOUR upstream provider? If it's AT&T,
Suddenlink, etc., I wouldn't put it beyond them to have sold your address.
Same goes for your wireless provider. If you have AT&T residential DSL,
look very carefully at your agreement. You pretty much give up all rights
of any type of phone or data privacy when you sign-up with them. That can
do whatever they want to with the data they collect about you, especially
if you are crazy enough to install their spyware... er, I mean,
installation software. :-)
