2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI just received my second e-mail from the HRC group, guy named Mook, so I responded by asking
them to please remove my name, I was a Bernie supporter. I also asked how they got my e-mail address. Hahaha, think I'll get an answer?

(42,862 posts)I never trust those things and if something like that interests me enough to participate, I'll use a unique (disposable) email address that only THAT organization may use. The disposable address simply forwards to my actual email address. If I start to receive messages from anyone OTHER than the one organization I gave the email address to, then I'll know that they sold it, or that they have security issues.
In any case, disposable email addresses can be disabled or discarded, and my primary email account remains under my control ... their spammy messages are bounced and never forwarded to me again.

(19,479 posts)How do the spammers get your e-mail address? From lists of addresses sold by vendors of such lists. There's no need to assume that the Clinton campaign got your address by hacking the Sanders campaign's database.

(19,479 posts)I get spam that's addressed to me by my first name. First and last names are obviously included in many of those commercial e-mail lists.

(4,775 posts)I have wondered if Skinner made some money by selling her the DU list? Seems like a fair question. I know most people are positing that Hillary got the email addresses from the DNC data debacle.
I got my Hillary emails, but they started before the DNC data thing, which is why I suspected DU giving or selling her its list. Probably not the case, but a question worth asking.
I had a hell of a time finding out how to unsubscribe from Hillary, finall got it done but it was not readliy apparent.

note. Well,let them try again and again, and my
answers will become rude.

Infuriating isn't it?
Can't wait to see what happens with the data breach investigation.

(14,691 posts)I think they got my address from AARP and think I'm too old to have email.
You'll never get my vote even if you resort to smoke signals and carrier pigeons, Hillary.

(1,926 posts)I put it in the trash, but I didn't unsubscribe.
If she wins, I want her emails, even though I am a strong Bernie guy, and have given him hundreds so far through my own Act Blue.
I also bought a bunch of Bernie signs, and try to put up at least one a day as I travel around Seattle.

Maybe Debbie could get her friends at Kroll to decide. DWS surely can connect the dots based on Kroll's combined background and experience of Wall Street and using CIA operatives.
I wouldnt bother contacting me again. Just apologize to Bernie Sanders at the next debate Not to worry about as many Americans hearing this apology, as DWS had all that taken care of by hosting a total of six, if were even that lucky.
Bye now.
