I just wanted to follow-up with you. I checked further to see how you got into our email system. Your email address was provided to my office by CitySourced as a blogger that writes on technology issues. Apparently this came about as a result of the TechCrunch50 event.

You were not entered into our regular email list that we use on an ongoing basis. You we identified as a specific receipient for this press event only.

Again, I appologize for the confusion. We thought we were doing the right thing, but we evidently made a mistake by including you.

How do you send an email without the address in the “To” field?

It gets better, once you’re on Pete’s list you never get off and you get added to the lists of all of his friends.

Thank you for your comments. You are correct, our email blast should have had an unsubscribe link. They usually do. I will have to find out why that mistake occurred. As for receiving an email after the unsubscibe was received, I’m sure you are aware that oftentimes emails are scheduled ahead of time and if they are already in the system they may go out even though the change has been made. This is common for this to happen. Again my appologies.

I appreciate you comments. Next time feel free to call me email me directly.

You could always download the app and take pictures of what needs to be fixed in Newport..
