Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT: any spam today?
we don't force advertise. We send newsletters only to people who have signed up for them. Yes there is advertising in them, but there is also information!
We also don't spam.
How is junk mail spam different than email spam? In most cases, it's easier to get off the email spam list than snail mail
