    OP, I think you're overreacting a tad
    If you read the entire thread, I hope you and others will appreciate that I have posted what I felt was helpful.

    I do not agree that adding e mail address would add value and explained why.

    I would add: Originators of these e mails cloak their true identity and regularly change the originating e mail address.
    why are you being SO defensive and, frankly, over sensitive?
    I have tried to be reasonable, but have grown tired of goater ...... goading me with puerile insults.

    If you check his post history, ............ ;)

    You should have just said that you didn't have the email address at the begininng as opposed to trying to make out I was asking for information that was completely useless.

    You were being incredibly difficult over what was a perfectly reasonable request on my part.

    Frankly you need to grow up a bit

    Insult trading aside ... ;)

    What goater originally suggested was a very valid comment. I have no idea why missile became so defensive about it.

    Have to agree. Not sure why the OP got so defensive over a valid and reasonable request.
    Also being called 'difficult' and 'stubborn' are hardly insults.

    Anyway.... yeah, I get emails like this regularly. My wife got one the other day and had to check with me if it was legit or not lol.

    Ive had what seems like the same sort of thing from Amazon this morning.

    I haven't ordered anything for months from Amazon so I just deleted it.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
