I posted a few weeks ago about this with screenshots on what to do to avoid this.<BR/><BR/>One thing is true. The Professor probably did not consciously send invites. But rather, invitations were sent not because he specifically authorized their accessing his address book, as part of the signup. So I won't agree with his "patently untrue" statement. All this happened because he clicked through without reading what was on the page. If he had read the page carefully (it was not even small print), he'd have noticed the "skip this step" feature on the page where he authorized Shelfari to access his address book.<BR/><BR/>I am not here to defend Shelfari, but to tell you that things usually happen because we rush through a lot of things when we should actually be paying attention.<BR/><BR/>There is a grey area here. The invitations were not unsolicited (the frequent reminders if you don't join Shelfari are unsolicited, though) at all. The Professor and most people inflicted this on themselves by not reading. Plain and simple.ananthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130501107980414641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-35618879900158173132007-11-01T21:56:00.000+05:302007-11-01T21:56:00.000+05:30true...its the worst spam culprit ever...even afte...true...its the worst spam culprit ever...even after you join the spam continuesphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752298947741450496noreply@blogger.com
