Re: the sourceforge list

I took the list link, SourceForge is a legitimate entity, having been around for over a decade. How To Geek lists them as a provider of freeware that did at one time bundle crapware with downloads but has stopped doing that. They are a repository for coders to distribute their material to each other and interested parties and have a vast array of programs from which to choose in many categories. They do not send often, In fact, I think I got only one since I took the link several months ago

It looks as if sourceforge just wanted to cover themselves legally when they decide to start selling you email address to marketers.

What I don't understand is why they sent this out in the first place. The
email clearly said you will be dropped if you don't do anything with this
message by June 29. My plan was to let this happen and then resubscribe with
my old email address, but I appear to still be on the list.
