Just a little bit of information for people who sign up for e-mail newsletters.

I think it's pretty common practice to have a "double opt-in" newsletter format, to combat spam. This means that you go to a website, sign up for their newsletter, and then you can expect to see a sign-up confirmation e-mail appear in your mailbox.

You have to respond to that confirmation e-mail, in order to actually be added to the mailing list!

This prevents anyone (a company or a prankster) from forcibly subscribing you to an e-mail newsletter.

Just an FYI ...

Thanks for the info.

Sent my confirmation back!! :-D :thumbup:

Thanks, I always wondered why you had to confirm it!

Thanks for letting us know.

Yes, it is so someone doesn't sign you up for everything and anything :thumbup:

Thank you for the explanation :D:D:D

Thanks for the explanation! :D

Yes, I have had to do that several times. Thanks for letting us all know!

Well, I learned something today. Thanks.
