A public apology

Folks, Bloggers and stray readers. Let me apologise.
Some of you (heck, all of you) might have by now received multiple mails from me, asking you to sign up for something called Ringo.

A friend insisted I sign up on Ringo, and I did. After the said signing up, the bloody thing “proactively” sent an email to everyone on my contact list, including you. Including a certain somebody who wants to sell me some medical help. (Prolly the first time he has ever received a reply on email)

Anyway, as I mentioned, please ignore that mail, or if you want to, sign up. And if you do sign up, don’t get even. I can’t handle 300 mails a day.

Thank you.

P.S. Typekey moderation has been removed. Enjoy.

    One reason why I decided to go for plaxo. It has got an unsubscribe link ;-)

    Thanks CC for removing typekey bt popular demand. I was the one holding the highflying ‘no typekey’ flag.

    Anyway, I signed up for that ringo but luckily didn’t give the gmail user id.

    Hey Maams,
    The Palimar pics had motion blur on ‘em and hence no doughnut for you & bajji. Lets plan to trace the “Ponniyin Selvan” trail.

    Last time I knew, it was a scam – probably trying to obtain our passwords and damaging it.
    I signed on to hi5 – and now I am trying ways to figure out how to “unsign” from it.

    Yaaaay typekey moderation gone! One more, do you need to display the ip addresses of the commentors? Just wondering :)
