So get this: when the Remedy guys started selling tickets to some of their events, they wanted to get the email addresses of people who bought tickets. There was already a checkbox to subscribe to the DNA Lounge mailing list, so we added a second one to allow people to subscribe to the event promoters' mailing lists too. (We added a second checkbox because from the beginning we've said "we won't share your email address with anyone without your permission" and that's not about to change.)

And then guess what? After we did that work for them, they decided to sell their tickets through some other web site instead -- because they don't think people should be given the option of not being spammed. That's right: they would rather not sell you a ticket than lose the ability to spam you. So they went with a ticket merchant whose privacy policy says, basically, "our customers may choose to spam you until the end of days."

I'm feeling the love, I really am.
