Lots of fertilizer there, even if everything weren't in duplicate. Any idea why the dupes are showing up? Or were *you* the dupe for subscribing to the mailing-list-masquerading-as-firehose?

Claims it's spam, but OPTED IN to the service. The reason for the duplicates is TechCrunch provided two email addresses.

your such a BS artist, prMac. But i give you props for trying.

Not all PR people are rude like this. I can't believe the lack of courtesy prMac showed you.

over 2 years ago Chris responded:

@prmac, if TechCrunch opted in to this service, why are you fighting with them? Why don't you just remove them from the mailing list? What's the big deal? It's not like TC is going to cover anything based on your emails now.

prmac why don't you put unsubscribe info at the bottom of your emails? super easy to do.... even just "respond with unsubscribe to leave the list'

prMac is a bot. It's being run by some AI researchers out of Stanford. It's funding 3 PhD's students and beating their friends across the hall with the poker bot.
