Dear RDFRA.
Clearly you have ignored my many many emails since I left the RDF requesting to Unsubscribe, stop, please remove me from your mailing list, and For **** sake stop spamming me.
I Signed off the RDF in march last year.
I last attended paid training in 2009.
I requested to be removed 3 times last year, eventually being removed only after a sulky reply from the last "press officer".
I realise my intentions may have been ambiguous.

However I must draw your collective attention to your latest spam email.
The content is of no interest to me.
However the fact that you CC'd me and every other member of the RDFRA is ****ing unforgivable.
I now have the email of everyone in the RDFRA, at one time or another(including one whom I know to be an officer in the PDF for the last 5 years).
They also have mine.
I'm pretty sure that constitutes a major breach of data protection legislation if not just total imcompetence on the part of the Press Officer.
FIX IT!

They have a facebook page I believe. Best bet there.

If they can't send, or answer an email I don't expect them to be able to manage a facebook account.

Send this open letter to everyone on the list of CC'd e-mail addresses. I'm sure that'd get a response.

What were they spamming you with GF?

goldie fish · 24-05-2012, 16:05

Their newsletter, even though I have asked numerous times to be removed from the list given that (a) I'm gone from the RDF for more than a year (b) I have not attended any sort of paid training since 2008, i.e they have not got sub from me since then.

The thing I have a problem with is everyone who got that email now has my private email address, and everyone elses too, even though some have not been in the RDF for 5 years or more.

Its the difference between using "bcc" and "cc".

So today I get a letter from them with details of the current disestablishment of the RDF. It seems also that they are going to provide all email addresses to an external communications company.

God help us all!

Did I mention I left the RDF (Signed off etc) in 2011? Their letter to me is wasting its few remaining members subscription.

I hope that the disestablishment of the RDF includes mandatory dismissal of this worthless talking shop.

Oh, and great news, the original sulky gob****e has been returned to collect everyones email....

Got a letter myself last week. Haven't attended since 09 either. At least I know it's not just me
