Anybody else get one of these emails today?

Super deals on Great Products!

I was looking for the "opt out" button when suddenly I noticed an Ebay Feebay logo on the bottom of the web page.


http://www.infopia.com/products/configurator.shtml

And I thought the page loading was slow because of all the cookies it blocks. Evidently it's not ENOUGH cookies.

They're selling our email addresses.

Thanks doubleclick.

UCK!, I got that one too but didn't not look at it long enough to see the feepay. Screw them, I've been blocking their doubleclick cookies as much as possible, but obviously they are still getting my info. BahHumbug!

Also got a spam from pseudo feebay saying my passwd had been changed. After I deleted the email, I went in and made sure that my account was still mine.

"Q: Do you still get direct feedback yourself from the community?

A: Yeah. First of all, the community has my e-mail address. It's [email protected]. I read all my own e-mail -- anywhere from 100 to 500 e-mails a day -- many of which are from the community. So I have a pretty good pulse of what's happening out there.

On the topic of "Meg Whitman on eBay's Self-Regulation", I think this is pretty funny:
