Involuntary Subscribe


 

Anyone know who has been involuntarily subscribing folks to this forum?

How do I know I did not do it? Well, the email address that this "helpful" person used was a business address (not the one you may see now) that is NOT nor has ever been used on Yahoo.

While I AM a retired IBMer and I AM drawing a pension, I did NOT sign myself up for this group.

No one has been involuntarily subscribing folks to this forum. Ever.
I invited you to join 2 days ago. Here is what my moderator log shows:

Jun 12, 2013 8:24 am n6mon <Email Private> Invited to join by ret99_99

I invited you and 99 other members of the ibmpension board about that time. Apparently, you had mail forwarding set up and/or a delegation or out of office option set on your email to automatically reply to emails because there was an immediate response of:

Jun 12, 2013 8:24 am xxxxx@... Accepted invitation to join
Jun 12, 2013 8:24 am xxxxx@... Joined group via email

Currently, when Yahoo receives an email reply to an invitation, it interprets this to be an invitation accept and goes ahead and subscribes the email address as a subscriber to the group.

Be that as it may, I had PURPOSELY ignored the invitation, as that is a popular spamming technique.
