There is no way for me to know who sold my email address.. Probably arbiter and everyone else... but I can say for 3 years I used my @us.army.mil email on arbiter and I've never gotten spam to that address. I've signed up for so many different things with other emails and also its posted on websites so could get spidered, that it is hard to tell. Yes I get a lot of junk mail, but most just gets spam foldered away.

The only thing that surprises me is how honest they are about selling your information.

A paraphrase: "Yeah, we do it. You can ask us nicely to stop, and we'll probably listen. If we've already sold it to other entities, that's your problem now, not ours. Tough luck."

e-mail lists are the lifeblood of any company doing business on the internet, just as regular mail lists were before the electronic age. Businesses regularly trade or sell these lists to improve sales potential. There is absolutely nothing illegal or immoral about this, except if a company says it will not trade e-mails and then does so.

It is easy to avoid the inundation of unwanted e-mails by simply creating another e-mail account and using that one for all potential e-mail you wish to avoid.

Unlike snail mail, though, the consumer can easily avoid
