Default Selling email addresses?

Does the managment of OSO sell our conctact information? I only ask because for the last couple months I have been receiving spam mail. (mostly from Teague and Eliminator)

OSO does not sell member email address to vender's or any other third party.

Other forums have gone the route of selling community members email addresses as a part of their business plan. We maintain very strict rules about how we treat personally identifiable information.

We may at some point produce a newsletter and offer companies the ability to advertise on it. In that case we will not give them access to any OSO member email addresses or other personally identifiable information.

Thank You for the quick response. I am glad to see it isn't this site.

I've been getting the same emails from those two companies, however I figured they picked my email address from some site like SCOPE since they are some times sponsors of SCOPE, or maybe the havasu poker run......? Both those companies are sponsors of that too.

Hmmmmmm......they got or bought a list from somewhere.....maybe the old Hotboat.com site or SceamAndFly.com, SeriousOffshore.com or Speedwake.com? Maybe another boat company or supplier that went out of business and gave/sold thier lsit? Tons of places. I believe the ad does have an opt-out on it though.....
