Vouchers, SPAM, and lying

SO, it turns out that someone has been sending an email from Utahns for Public School (not the typo) to an unknown email list which traces to a pro-voucher site.

It turns out that the emails can be traced to someone that has been accused of sending SPAM before.


This same person said on his blog that he was writing a pro-voucher blog called vouchernews, even though he claims not to be the author of it. He also says he's a pirate and that "Mark Shurtleff is one of the hardest working and kindest AG's Utah has ever had."


Against Utah Vouchers has written that Parents For Choice in Education paid SG Consulting $5000. It lists SG Consulting's address, which I won't print here, because it just happens to be the address of one pirate captain. I've verified it.

Nice Try, Captain Bourne.

SLC Government Exposes My eMail Address

Someone at events@slcgov.com sent out an email advertising an event. I won't mention the event, because I'm boycotting said event.

The reason I am boycotting said event is because whomever sent out the eMail put EVERY recipient's email address in the to column, allowing all of us to see each other's email. I didn't count, but it's in the several hundred people range. I'm sure even more spammers than already have it will now get it for free.

I hope that some spambots pick up events@slcgov.com 's email address from my blog. It's called payback.

P.S.-- I don't really mind having my eMail address out there. It allows people to send my stuff like announcements for big events, like the one I'm not mentioning that Salt Lake City was sending me. For the record, my eMail address is b o b i s c o o k i e m o n s t e r (AT) y a h o o (dot) c o m.
