Indeed. I suspect that they are not able to sweep this one under the
carpet as easily as they did the other ones. Plus they are dealing with
a more informed public, who has the access to create tagged email
addresses.

One of the first excuses given to me on another instance of my tagged
email getting out to stock spammers was that my email address was easy
to guess. I will give them that, no problem, my mistake to believe that
a corporation would protect my privacy and when they didn't they would
blame me for it. So then I changed my email to something a lot harder to
guess. I banged on the keyboard and came up with my new and improved
email address. Then again, here comes the spam after a period of time.

Another reason Ameritrade can't dismiss me as easily is that I have my
own mail logs. They can't say "dictionary attack" because I have the
logs. Most users don't have that luxury at their hands, and to get the
logs would take a court order and $$$$$.

It will be good to watch them wiggle on this one. I wonder if a media
outlet would like to take this one on. I don't know, my faith in the
media is so/so. I just need to remember to contact them every so often
and see what the progress is and to send them the logs on my THREE
previous ameritrade accounts that are still receiving stock spams. I do
find it funny that they receive ONLY stock spams. It might be time to
get the government involved in this one.
