Jeff; This another reason to remove your Phone number from your address list. As you are aware, just about all these emails can be found on Google. Certainly having your Business or Fax number in each email, is not good advertising, and it reaches alot of people that were never meant to receive it. I think this is one of the reasons Clint gets so much "Spam" he has about 10 different email addresses in his Signature file..so it's little wonder. I feel..besides the guys on TechAssist and your list, the emails sent should be of no concern to anyone. But as you know, something you wrote a year ago, will come back to bite your ass (or is it axx) on Google. -Ed- Ed Gaidies Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Intrepid Video Support" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2003 10:09 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Support Issues > Amen Jim. > I still get phone calls from the archives when I did include my phone number.... > Person on other line: I saw on the Tech Assist you sent someone a tip for model so and so...I need to know > if that will apply to my model? > Sorry, don't have time for this...besides possibly taking business away from fellow shops on this list. > Either the customer will repair the TV using Tech Assist archives, and the shop loses business or they > blow other stuff out causing headaches to the other shop....this is more likely. > > Jeff Dougherty > Intrepid Video TV/VCR > 263 S Front St > Steelton PA 17113 > fax...717-564-4952 > www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jim Myers" <jr.myers@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2003 12:25 PM > Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Support Issues > > > How about an example of what should be in the sig file, I used to include my > email address but removed it since it generated additional spam and other > unwanted emails.
