Shadows Email lists - French Variety.

I agree it pisses the hell out of me. I don't just get it in French by the way. I've asked to be 'removed' from the list a few times - it all started with an English Shadow's fan/arsehole as far as I can tell. Thankfully it doesn't yet happen on my main address.

Best wishes,

I think I can speak for Mike Whittaker when I say I too am mightily peeved at receiving this regularly.

Except I get mine at work, thankfully in English as my French is sadly lacking.

So far as I'm aware only one person on this 'ere NG knows my work's e-mail addx.

And how do I know Mike Whittaker is peeved? Mike, I you must have replied to all, which means that everyone on the CC list got read you plaintive cry, including me.

Sacred Blue, it's enough to make you want to fart in someone's general direction...

Damned right, couldn't agree more. It pains me to have to use (and tweak) three levels of filtering just to be able to post from a real address without being swamped, but like Mike I feel that a fake address would mean the arseholes had won.

Well, it's been over a year since I used a real address. There seems to be a growing number of posters who do this, but provide a genuine address on request. I didn't realise this was offending anyone, could you explain why it's considered 'plain rude'?
