Privacy breached - receiving spam from other weather sites.
Fri Aug 29 2008 01:29 PM

I was under the impression that our privacy was assured and that our email addresses would not be shared or sold.

The email address I use here is my work address, and unknown to any site other than this one. Yet last night I received a SPAM invitation to another weather forum using my work address.

I would like a complete explanation of why our email addresses are being released and/or sold. I have since changed my address to reflect my "junk" account. I consider this site important enough to have given it my main account, but cannot do that if our addresses are being released for spam.

Survived Charley at Cat 4 under a staircase. Won't do that again. I watch SW Florida and Abaco primarily.
