Well I'm going to miss you. AND be insanely jealous. But it WAS warm in my
back garden yesterday and I was there on the laptop all day. Don’t suppose
that counts
Now does the move make you a Cretin? Or is that me?

Subject: Re: [data-protection] spam and email lists (and adverts)
I suppose it could be said I am as guilty as (if not more than) anyone in
this matter and you could say I have a vested interest in this missive. My
take on it is that the question has been asked several times over the past
few years and the outcome is always the same - a single advert for a product
or service related to the list's topic is okay. As the list agreed this on
several occasions it is unlikely any breach of any Act is occurring - the
soft opt in or implied consent is likely to cover it.
I doubt that the incidence of junk e-mails on the board is so bad that
people will want to stop reading the messages, the pearls of wisdom we get
far outweigh any slight inconvenience of having to press the delete key on
occasion.
As many of you already know the number of adverts I will be placing from now
on will be very few - maybe just one more towards the end of summer. A
closing down sale advert. We are packing it in, giving up the ghost and
moving to warmer climes before the end of this year.
I have enjoyed our conversations, jokes and occasional spats and I guess
I'll occasionally look at the JISC site from sunny Crete.
In the meantime, if anyone wants any on-site training you have only about
three months to secure my services - please get in touch quickly. Yes it's
a sneaky advert, and why not?
Oh, and if you need a low mileage 1999 Nissan QX with the number plate T999
DPA (see, even that has a link to the board's topic) you can have it for
£4000 o.n.o.
