I'd like to thank everyone whose emailed me since the story hit the news.

Please do keep sending your comments.

Sue a Spammer

It's been suggested to me by one or two correspondents, that even with a D-I-Y kit people might feel a little unsure about doing this themselve, so the idea has been floated to set up a support group, on non-profit lines to give practical help to people who might need it, as well as publishing sample letters, claim forms etc.

The guys at Pledgebank suggested that would be a good way to kick this off, so, please sign up for the new "SpamClaim" support organisation at www.pledgebank.com/SpamClaim.

BBC National Television

Watchdog are featuring the case on their national TV program tonight. BBC 1, at 7.30 p.m.

Medial Logistics (UK) had agreed to appear, I was told by the researcher. But a couple of days later I was told they'd backed out. There will be a representative from the Direct Marketing Association instead.

Your emails

A couple of days ago, I was starting to get to the bottom of the list of people to reply, but the mail has picked up once again. I expect it to pick up even more after 'Watchdog'.

If you sent me email more than a week ago, and you haven't a personal response, please don't hesitate to drop me another line as your email might not have been delivered, or I might have overlooked it in all the mail. If you've emailed me within the last week or so, please bear with me, I do intend to get to back to all you with a personal response..

When emailing me, please state whether or not you'd like to be kept in touch with developments by email. Pretty obviously, I won't be able to email you and/or keep you informed with interesting news or updates etc. unless I do have your explicit permission (a.k.a. "informed consent")!

And please don't hesitate to get in touch. Nigel
