Recently I enjoyed testing a couple of bulk mailers. While doing that, I came across a first class comment on Version-Tracker. Some person called Farlander wrote:

"Am I missing something, or spamming software is now a cool thing?
From everything I see in the description, sounds like a great tool for spamming. How sad to see that mac os x is used by scu... oops, sorry - I mean, spammers : ( "

Isn't he a real hero? Flaming for the white and innocent image of all slightly bitten jummy data machines in the orbit. Didn't I had to comment on that?

"What a bullshit, sorry for writing that.
I assume, you are neither a professional business person, nor are you trying to think in their terms.
Sending out 15 mails to customers by copy&paste takes at least 5 times more time than using a professional bulk mailer. Not thinking about incidental errors by not changing company names or other personal identifiers : (
Plus: The fact, that you CAN use something for a bad purpose, doesn't neccessarily mean, that you HAVE TO use it for that purpose. Or do you break into supermarkets once a week by smashing their front doors with your car?"

Farlander didn't repy.
I wounder why...

(Maybe not used to bad language...)


Also a tool for enlightment: VT.
