An absurdity

I can't stand it.

Because digital music is one of my side interests, I'm on the flac-dev mailing list out of Sourceforge. FLAC is a lossless audio compression format that's making a few inroads. Right after the last update I checked my email, and I get this spam . . . a rarity for this rather focused list. It's for China Conference 2003, a conference in Edinburgh about entering the commerical software market in China. Out of curiousity, I read the thing and at the bottom is this little gem:

We do really respect your privacy and work within a strict code of ethical standards relating to your data protection rights. If you no longer wish to receive future mailings from China Conferences please compose a new email message addressed to [email protected] ensuring that the word UNSUBSCRIBE appears in the subject line, or simply click here and we will remove you from the list automatically.

Why don't I believe this?
