MORE spam from Cambridge University Press

July 10th, 2009 ·

I got another spam from Cambridge University Press today. Apparently this is their new strategy for success as a tree-murdering paper publisher.

They provide an opt-out link at the bottom: http://listserv.cup.org/t/49324/239073/2681/0/ which obviously contains campaign information in it, but apparently they were too incompetent to encode my email address in there because the form asks for my email address again. That’s another sign of disregard for their diminishing set of customers.

I had previously complained about ACM spamming me – are they now enabling third party spammers as well? More SIGCRAP.
