Rehan,

Are you sorry for sending to the lists and individuals by accident or 
are you sorry for misrepresenting yourself as a user of a service and 
not disclosing your relationship to the company that you are endorsing?

I have seen you do this over and over, pretending to be a user, or not 
disclosing that you are affiliated with the company that you are 
recommending.  Just search the archives to see many examples.  This is 
not ethical.  That is where the anger comes from.  Not from the email 
itself, but from your misrepresentations and shady behavior.

Just something to think about, although this has been explained to you 
time and time again.  You are possibly breaking the law and definitely 
being unethical in your business practices. 

Thanks,
Steve
