phone spam

In fact I personally sent it to you, manually, in the BCC list as someone I know personally.

Rather like this reply.

I was interested in your comments from an astronomical perspective, if you have any?

It is a very interesting Irish observation don't you think?

Right no-one else seems to have gotten this other than those on the to or cc line. Guess its legitimate then, could have explained who the recipients were at the start of the mail mind you...

I got it too.

Guess we should be honoured!!!

I didn't get it. I'm obviously not on the A list. :lol:

I got this one today though...

Astronomy Ireland's CHRISTMAS LECTURE speaker from Channel 4 tonight is one of the most brilliant performers in world.

".....ladies and gentlemen, introducing Mr. MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!!......"

Is it just me, or is there anybody else out there who is sick and tired of this constant bitching about DM?

Is it just me, or is there anybody else out there who is sick and tired of this constant bitching about DM?

Is it bitching about DM, or is it bitching about the business practices of A&S Ltd and, at times, AI?

This particular "bitch" is about phone spam - I've recently complained to the authorities about some email spam that I received from a Dublin-based company (not astronomy related). If it was AI or A&S Ltd that sent me the spam, my reaction would probably have been the same. In short, I totally support anyone who wants to bitch about anyone else sending them spam.

There is a seperate question as to whether this is the appropriate place to vent and bitch. It is a public forum, which therefore has dangers regarding libel (as I found out recently :shock: ), and it is also a place where people will go to try and find out what kind of organisation IFAS is...

But, the bottom line is that people have been annoyed and sometimes hurt by the business practices of A&S Ltd and AI (and I include myself in the category of "those that were hurt"), and many have found a sympathetic ear on these forums. It's only human to utilise such a sympathetic ear when it is found.

Personally, whereas DM isn't on my Christmas list, I don't really have a problem with him. He has, in my opinion, done a lot of good (and some harm) to astronomy in Ireland. My problem is with some of his business practices. The man himself - I have the time of day for him (though not much more than that), and I have a degree of respect for his energy, enthusiasm and achievements.
