I’ve got to say that group over at Dr. Dobbs Journal have to be the most difficult bunch of guys that I’ve ever had to deal with around spam. The funny thing is that I signed up for a subscription a while ago and never received a single issue. The only thing that I’ve received are constant renewal messages (starting only one or two months after I originally signed up).
So, for some reason, DDJ took this is a an opt-in to send me non-stop spam. I have been completely unsuccessful in getting these guys to remove me from their mailing list (surprise) and I’ve even tried calling to be removed (no luck there either).
If you’re thinking about subscribing to DDJ, I’d think again unless you insist on being abused by their marketing department.
I’m hoping that no response to my 7th renewal notice (see below) might magically remove me from the list.
