FOI vs SCA Privacy

..o0*0o..

I just read your forwarded post from James to the S.C.A. list I am on. I 
realise that the time may have passed but here is my observation.

My husband worked for a marketing company that specialized in mailing lists. 
He was the one that ended up with the information the client got by whatever 
means. 9 times out of 10 the disk was corrupt and information unrecoverable. 
My husband concluded that the source of the information was the culprits 
costing the client twice as much money to obtain the list. Usually after three 
tries and three charges the client would normally give up on that portion of 
the list. This is a malicious thing to resort to and if you do it delete this 
letter so that no one can track it down to you. Use a bad disk or save it as a 
mac file and label it as an IBM file or vice versa. (Many of the marketing 
companies have not upgraded their equipment that badly!)

The other thing that you can do is to inform all your membership that this is 
going to occur and why and give them a form letter asking that their name not 
be place on the client's mailing list citing the protection law that many have 
recently been using (sorry I do not remember the law). Let them sign it and 
mail it to the client. They must follow through with the law for this to work. 
It also applies to internet junk mail.

If you would like to write to my husband email me privately and I will foward 
it to you.
