Hi all,<br>
<br>
I agree - they will be bulk mailing to a previously configured list,
regardless of who has which product(s) registered. This is
reasonably typical for many marketing activities.<br>
<br>
Also, by getting these e-mails, you have the option of forwarding
them on to colleagues and friends who may also be interested but who
are not on the mailing list (well, that's the theory anyway).<br>
<br>
So I wouldn't go getting too upset over already having the product.
You know what the e-mail is about (from the subject and the first
few lines/paragraphs), so delete it and move on ;-)<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Bevan<br>
