I’ve always said that the <a HREF="http://www.zoliblog.com/blog/_archives/2005/6/6/975578.html" rel="nofollow">“decent” way</A> is to rely on the auto-updates only (which works between members), and don’t touch the mass-mailer facility.Kent, you’re not quoting the best part of the announcement: “<EM>This feature will probably always exist in some form, but <STRONG>we are no longer aggressively pushing new users to send out e-mails</STRONG> and are adding restrictions to prevent existing users from sending out large batches” </EM> Isn’t it just lovely, after all the denial they admit to have been “<STRONG>aggressively pushing</STRONG>” us. Wow!Btw, they still don’t really have a business model, the premium offering is poor. I tried it, lost 2 workdays recovering my data (this should be another looong post), then Customer Service ignored my refund request (within the trial period) 3 times, finally an email to the CEO helped.But again, the auto-update feature is priceless (especially if you don’t migrate to new computers too often).
