Yes I do have something to say on this matter.
Without a doubt, John Murga, does NOT sell email addresses to anyone.
This has been showing up lately and I suspect it's a smear campain against Puppy Linux.
OK..this is happening, as far as I can tell from the posts here. If there is a way to nip this in the bud it would be a good idea.
Best,
Eric

Hi mac,
Send your info to John Murga or any mod here via pm.
I have had these emails for years and I very much doubt it's coming from this forum or Murga. The new twist with Murga's url is a cut and paste job.
