The usual questions
How do I opt out?
Use the link at the bottom of any issue. We keep your address on a suppression list afterwards purely to make sure nothing reaches you again.
Will I start getting mail from other people?
It is not sold or shared. Sponsors pay to appear in the newsletter; they do not receive the list.
Is there advertising in it?
Some. They are flagged in the email, and the advertiser — not us — is responsible for their site.
Is it really free?
Yes — free to read, and free to leave.
How much email is this?
The letter goes out once a week. Between issues you may also get an offer from one of our advertising partners.
