Letter: Letters : Spam and eggs

Published 8 March 1997

From John Atkinson

by e-mail

Thank you for Netropolitan’s note on tracing the addresses of advertisers who
send junk e-mail (Technology, 8 February, p 19). I have often been frustrated by
the lack of an e-mail address on some advertising. Once I got a particularly
long ad, complete with address, and e-mailed it straight back, a hundred times
over. As the address was wrong, it all bounced, leaving me with egg and spam all
over my face.
