Anyone else get force-added to the Imperial Auctions mailing list? It really annoyed me and just wondered if they're somehow lifting email addresses from Net54.

Hi Matt,
If you would like to PM me with your email, I can remove you from the list. To answer your question, I did not add random people to the email lists from Net54.
Thanks,
Chris

email addresses are not public on Net54* unless you type them into the text of post. If you've never done that then they got your address somewhere other way; maybe they bought a bidder list from another auction house.

*The exception is if you added your email to the "Vintage Links" page from the old forum.

Good to know, thanks for following up. Must be the latter, though I don't remember doing anything on a card auction site since...2006? The intertubes memory lingers for a creepy long period of time.
