OK. I created a new category of topics as of this post. This is for rants since I tend to have a lot to rant about.

Today’s complaint is brought you courtesy Discovery.com and Cheetah Mail. Last Christmas, I purchased a DVD from the Discovery Channel. Every since, I’ve been receiving emails from them. Each time I receive an email, I unsubscribe. But somehow, I keep getting these emails. Well I had enough today.

I called Discovery.com and told them I didn’t want to receive any more emails. They told me they couldn’t help. In fact, they told me they didn’t even know they had an newsletter that went out via email.

So, I traced the source of the email to a company named Cheetah mail. They are an email blasting company that apparently handle the newsletters for Discovery. The person I talked to over there told me they couldn’t remove me from the list. So they have an email system that they own and manage, but they can’t remove subscribers from any lists? That’s crap.

After talking for a moment with Cheetah mail and posing a few threats regarding Spam, I told them they had better remove me. They should contact me when I am removed. If they don’t I’ll take this to the next level.

What’s the next level? Well companies this large have CEOs and CEOs don’t like getting angry letters. Yet, if this keeps up, they will get one from me the next time I receive an email from Discovery.com.

So be warned about Discovery.com and their Spamming practices.
