RE: A note to Red Hat about spam.

[Bruno Alves <BAlves sew-eurodrive pt>]

I also got the mail you mentioned. Worse than the waste of bandwith or
something like that, is that the e-mail address I posted is my work mail,
once I have Outlook (please don't beat me) open all day, so I can read
messages one by one instead of having a bunch of them at the end of the day.
And this is not the only mailing list i've subscribed...

Best regards everyone!
