I joined 125exchange.com months ago, I don’t think I ever bothered to activate the account. Normally, they send me three or four snide emails a week,  and I usually just delete them.  Tonight, they will not stop spamming me. So far, I have received SEVENTEEN emails in less than an hour.

I have emailed them back, demanding that they stop and take me off the mailing list immediately, but they persist. I am about to report them for violations of the CAN-SPAM Act to everyone I can think of, including pulling their IP address off their header and reporting them to their host. I feel bad for all the bloggers in their system, having to put up with this kind of garbage.

The worst part of their stupid emails is that they offer NO way to unsubscribe, or opt out. You are stuck in their clutches forever, receiving rude emails like, “I always wonder why some bloggers don’t want extra visitors to their blog?”

or

”What happened? You joined the 125Exchange system X days ago but haven’t created your ads yet.”

Here’s what happened, you nitwits. I decided I didn’t want to be part of your group. When I got the first email saying my account was inactive, I was glad and thought that meant we would be parting ways. Little did I know that you would continue to send me noxious junk, trying to  induce me to become an active participant in your program.

I’d have more to say about them, but they just sent even more emails that I have to delete.

Want to know if a particular site is crashed, or if it’s just something you alone are experiencing? MP found a great site called downforeveryoneorjustme.com . You put in the url into the box that looks like this:

Is down for everyone or just me ?
and it instantly tests the link for you.It’s not a hundred percent reliable, but it’s handy to have around.
