TechRepublic is spammy

For some reason unrelated to newsletters, I opened an account with TechRepublic.

Two weeks later, this is what my spam-catcher inbox looked like (and note that the whole list does not fit on the screen!):



The number of email that site sent me far exceeded any other email sender (including the prolific local wine store). I'm having an hard time believing that anyone wants so much email from one site! I guess they haven't heard of "information overload".

And of course, when you do try to reach them through their email contact, they pop up a form to protect their own email...

I unsubscribed to all - hopefully they'll respect my wish.
