Yes, it is unfortunate. But believe me, we have tried to make GT understand 
the error of his ways. Both in person and by mail, but to no avail. This is 
the end result of months of communication by Suresh, myself and many others.

I, personally, think that GT's cheap CDs are really useful. During IT.com 
we pointed a *lot* of customers in GT's direction because they were the 
only sellers of affordable CDs. However, being the only affiliate of 
Cheapbytes doesn't give GT a license to spam. It is particularly irritating 
because GT trawls the BLUG list for addresses to spam.

This is unfortunate, but not unwarranted.
