Subject: I'm sick of Grouply.... and I'm not even on it!

From: "Steve" <alienrelics@...>
Date: 2008-10-26

I don't want to see replies on the list about this, I want to send
this out and have this subject done with. Email me off-list if you
don't agree with this policy or if you have anything else to say about it.

If a member of one of my lists sends me a Grouply invitation, or if
you send a Grouply invitation to the list, I'll ban you for spamming.
I'll consider allowing you back in if you ask nicely and promise never
to do that again.

I choose not to use Grouply, yet I get many messages from them.
Grouply does not send out these spam unbidden, they only get sent out
if a member of Grouply agrees to it. Yet without joining Grouply,
Grouply only respects a request to block invitations to a given email
address for 30 days.

So think hard before you agree to allow Grouply to send out
invitations to your address book or the members of a given group.
