I expect a lot of us do. In my case, each campaign gets a separate e-mail address so I can track how much they pass the addresses around.

It's not entirely clear what their strategy is because they keep telling me that I am one of their TOP 100 SUPPORTERS even though I've never sent them a dime.   posted at: 14:21 :: permanent link to this entry :: 1 comments Stable link is https://jl.ly/Email/polispam.html
