I think the service is a very poor idea. I don't like unexpected messages in my inbox saying please click here. I get tons of spam all wanting me to do the same, and when I decode the attachments disguised as DOC, ZIP, PIF, and other files, they all turn out to be executables and not what they were described as. Of course, they won't run on my system. But I still feel insulted that anyone would think I am dumb enough to click on them. I use sneakemail for throwaway email addresses and use different addresses for each mailing list. So I can identify where the spam originates. From time to time, I have to kill the address for the Silver List and get a new one. If this means I will get the same silly message from this service and have to revalidate each time, I will simply unsubscribe from the Silver List and forget about it. I do not have time to waste on such stupidity. Best Regards, Mike Monett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
