[Chapter-delegates] Fight Against E-Mail Spam! < which looks MORE like spam

[Dr. Alejandro Pisanty Baruch]

Hi all,

I have email from ISOC staff stating that yes, they did start this campaign.

I have asked them to come on to this list and see the wreck for themselves.

Yours,

Alejandro Pisanty

ISOC is showing all signs of an organisation that has been growing too
far too fast, including lack of institutional memory and a deeper
understanding of net culture and technology. I'd suggest that the
bright minds inside the organisation (and there are lots, still, really)
get their feet back on the ground.

Hiding an anti spam campaign behind a link like

hXXp://us7.campaign-archive1.com/?u=2b178aff20babee9328e5c659&id=48ac092fb1&e=034461a2a1

really has so much irony w.r.t. framing user expectations and behaviour
as well as privacy considerations that it needs no words. I've heard on a
different occasion recently that "Mailchimp" is now the tool of choice.
I'd surmise that just the organisation has changed and those of us complaining
about such details don't understand today's internet according to ISOC
and maybe better leave the bus, next stop.
