Quote - The insurmountable problem here, as I see it, is that nobody, admins or users, can have any idea of the proportion of Rendo users that actually is having this problem, compared to that which isn't.

Only a poll of all members (or a properly chosen representative sample) would give any indication of true statistics, and that would depend on all or most said members responding (optimistic, I think).

The thing with that is, unless they are using a dedicated email address they probably didn't realize.  Like me for example. I started out here using my hotmail account that I consider my junk email account because I use it all around the net if a site requires an email address. It gets loads of spam. I mean loads of it!  It wasn't until I replaced it with an @rendeosity, then my @mts.net and now my @gmail.com address that I realized that some of the spam was being generated from here somehow.

Again, when I asked about it when I noticed it to the @renderosity.com address I was told that it started when they did some changes to their mail servers in order to be able to generate larger mailings.

It seems to me that they need to go back to that point and "undo" whatever changes they did. Surely there are records as to when that change took place and exactly what changes it involved?

heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
