Re: News from COMMON?

[Rich Loeber <rich@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,

Having a signin is a way of collecting email addresses.  My question is: "What
are they going to be used for?".  Am I going to be bombarded now with requests
to join COMMON .... or worse yet, is COMMON going to sell these to vendors as a
way of raising money?
