I have so far had 6 emails in the last day from a Micheal Hawkes pimping his custom kiteboards. Looks like he got a load of email addresses from this site.

i got 3 but dont really care, its a great deal if ur looking at getting a board but the fact that i got 3 was a tad annoying. Also then brownee sent one aswell.

I get them from Brownee too, but that was after I bought stuff from him. I didn't thinks his emails were unsolicited.

At least Brownee has a link at the bottom of his emails to be removed from his list.

I have a new board, so these emails are just plain anoying.

There are anti spaming sites which you can refer him to.

alternatively you have these options

  • Set up a filter on his email address with your service provider
  • Set up a filter on his email address with email program (piece of pees if you have Thunderbird)
  • House brick him, send back his email with adverts for all other board manufacturers attached as data sheets and then repeat his email address a couple (of hundred times) for the Subject put in "do not Spam me I have blocked your site"


the final option is just to delete without reading

yet another reason NEVER to post your eamil address on public forums - that's what the PM function is for...

And I like Elmo's approach...

appologise guys for that cluster ****, i pressed the wrong button "to" instead of "bcc", late night & was very tired. Just for your info my private email address list is only used for when I have something to offer, it does not and will never make part of bestkiteboardings property.

once again sorry

my sincere applogies to every who seems to be upset about the email they have obviously gone to the wrong place as i got four myself ( which made me think what the hell) and i know i only sent one and i thought that it was to a group of mates back on the goldie . i have never sent a bulk email before and will NEVER try AGAIN.
i was reading an email sent from brownie just before i emailed what i thought was my kiter mates over east but i guess not . as a none computer person who only knows just how to get to sea breeze i should know better than trying to send bulk emails that i know nothing about . there is no bulk emails address list i dont even know how they got to you in the first place or how you got so many . i have blocked them myself
PLEASE JUST MARK AS SPAM

Prob. mine Northside. It is a lovely piece of work. The pads and straps that it came with don't do it justice. I got new Slingy straps yesterday (thanks Windforce) and will have the pads done over Winter.

Yea, I can't stand "spam" or "pimping," but have learned to cope.

Thats a nice piece of work, you can't beat balsa for making a stunning looking board. It almost seems a shame to take it on the water

Nicely done Capn Kaos

Greetings Mike. How is everything going over there in the land of WA?

Do you still have time to participate it the "light side"

Cheers
