blogiquette

[firecat]

If you comment on someone's blog, and need to give an e-mail address to do so, is it acceptable for them to subscribe you to their mailing list? (No notice is given of such automatic subscription in the comment area.)

I don't think it's acceptable. I'm not all that angry about it, but I'm minorly ticked and trying to decide whether to complain.




Update I did complain. The blogger responded that my winding up on zir mailing list was unintentional.

I'd be surprised and a little annoyed. Like you I'd probably send a polite complaint.

Or, since I'm also kind of lazy, I might just keep hitting delete when I saw the stuff in my mailbox if it was easy to identify without opening.
