While I agree that this is of interest to more peopel that just on Techie, I don't see whe it would be a Vent thread.
(also 22 viewing Techie right now compared to 6 on vent)
besides, there is already a thread over there

No, they have to comply with the Data Protection laws, see their privacy policy link on their home page:Iain_M wrote:I suspect that these sites may not be based in the UK and therefore not subject to our Data Protection legislation.

I have read.
And I understand that some people are venting (I agree!)
. But it's valid here as the original post was about email that could've been inaccurate or spam, it could go to discussions, the Arms, or a few other boards where it would be equally valid.
Why move it to Vent in particular - especially when there's already a thread there?
