Because You Are Less Than 13 Years Old
A law called COPPA went into effect in April, 2000. The United States Government doesn't want me to collect "personal information" about "children".
"Personal information" includes:
- Your full name (you can use your first or last, but not both)
- Your email address
- Your website URL (at least, I consider it "personal information" even though the rules don't)
- Any other personal information that would let someone identify you.
If you tell me you are less than 13 years old, and if you subscribe to my newsletter, I must delete your subscription. If I don't delete your subscription, the Federal Trade Commission might try to fine me $10,000!
You Told Me You Are Less Than 13 Years Old
Because you told me you are less than 13 years old, I cannot subscribe you to my newsletter.

This page tells about my
test ezine which I created to let me test my ezine processing system.

Best Practices of Email, Ezine and List Management:

CAN-SPAM Is Stupid:
A personal rant about the U. S. federal law known as known as CAN-SPAM. While it is supposedly designed to help eliminate email spam, I think the law is stupid. The article also provides links to CAN-SPAM resources.

I Use Gammadyne Mailer
I began using the
Gammadyne Mailer in late 2002. It is possible to use it very simply, almost out of the box. But it also features a very complete internal programming language to let you do just about anything you want. And, it keeps all the information on my PC in an Access database, where I know the information is secure and under my control.
It is
screaming
software. I strongly recommend
Gammadyne Mailer.
PS: You can test drive my implementation of the Gammadyne Mailer just to see how it works. I created an
ezine named
TestZine
to let me test my programming. You can test it too. Subscribe and receive a "sample issue". You can even try out some of the tests I perform,
like submitting a subscription request twice in a row, or subscribing when I'm
already subscribed or unsubscribing when I'm not subscribed, just to see how it
handles these "special conditions". Just go to my
TestZine
page.
