Argh, I don't know what is going on, but suddenly ZDNet has decided I really want to receive every stupid email newsletter they make. And of course none of the emails I get have WORKING "If you have any questions about your subscription, email..." addresses, they all bounce.

I never even signed up for anything from ZDNet, they "borrowed" my info from C|Net when they merged, and then assumed that I wanted ALL of the WONDERFUL(ly horrible) content of the new company. (to the point of emailing me basically saying "We know you said you only wanted X, but we thought Y would interest you, so...")

ARGH!!

Is this happening to anyone else? Down with ZDNET!!

Gave em your email address? Ouch. Maybe if you give them your mailing address and your home phone number, too, they'll just go away. :) Or would it freak you out if you woke up one morning with a ZDNet flyer on your car windshield?
