It is time to stop the SPAM. I use to enjoy your news letters, but was tired of weeding through the SPAM to get to the content. I canceled all of my news letters because I can't stop the unsolicited advertising junk mails from you. I have tried on multiple occasions to click through the unsubscribe link but it always fails with an error. Now I can't get out of your database so that it will all stop. I feel like I have been taken hostage! Who else has this frustration? It would be nice ifwe could band together and demand a stop to the SPAM. I prefer my mail to have a little less fat, and content that is worthy of consumption.

I agree. I have cancelled my news letters from tech republic. They are a waste of time, as all they contain are ads and links to the TR website. I can go to the website myself, and I don't need the ads. This issue has also made my visits to the TR site much less frequent.

So, how would you have Tech Republic pay it's staff, and pay for maintaning the site?

The so-called spam from Tech Republic is a small price to pay for the great technical content and discussions that they offer.

If you really want to get rid of the mail from any web site, just open a free web based e-mail account.
Change your e-mail address to the new address.
Close the account, or let the inbox overload.

Two ways to do this in Outlook.
1. When you open their mail, click on actions in menu bar. click on Junk Email. Click on add to junk senders list.
2. When you first open Outlook main menu click tools, click rules wizard, click new and follow the requests on what where and when type questions.
