Great! I’m now receiving spam from Blackwell’s the company I work for. Like I really want to know about Birth: Issues in Perinatal Care going online. What’s more they’re offering me a 30 day free trial – yeah right, I have a username and password that gives me unlimited acces to absolutely any journal I want ever?!! …and come to think of that, if I’m really that interested I’ll go onto the local network and get a copy out the archives…
Huh?!!

Wow! i must have overlooked that you work for Blackwell’s…
i am an assistant to the head of electronic resources at my alma mater’s library. In fact, i am currently adding ingentaselect links into our catalog. So, i’m familiar with your company. 🙂
Re: b1578
Gah… Ingenta. Evil competitors…!!!
Actually, I never have got our relationship with them. They are one of thirty or so third parties that we send our stuff to so that they can put it on their website. Excuse me, where’s the sense in that?
Our *Technology* department are currently trying to stamp out spam and viruses and anything remotely interesting on the internet from our working lives, so I did momemtarilly consider forwarding said email to the IT Support asking them to block said emails…! *grins*
