Just curious, but is it illegal to talk about ROMs?

Why, what's with Read Only Memory? CD and DVD are a form of ROM????

Good point about viruses, Alex. I'd forgotten my own misadventures in emulation.

On some sites, it's illegal to discuss ROMs.

But thanks for clearing that up for me.

Ah, in tha sense, ROM content on modern storage and transport

I don't see much problem in emulating old (game) machines.

I did not ask for this email.. or this account...

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM

1. You have your e-mail publicly listed. That's all but asking for someone to try and abuse that information.
2. What good does complaining about that here do? How about trying to respond to the e-mail there stating that you did not request an account?
3. You've posted personal information of someone else, without their permission. That's somewhat irresponsible.

How do you know it was spam, and not someone abusing information you made publicly available? You don't. Would you complain here if you were signed up to any other e-mail based periodical / service without your knowledge? For some reason, I doubt it.

If you received more than one e-mail from there, then you could have helped by sending an e-mail back and saying that someone had been using your e-mail. That site has been attacked nearly daily for quite some time by someone registering accounts, it would be helpful to know if they had registered accounts using e-mails of multiple users here that have them publicly listed. For both sites.

People get signed up to services as pranks by others quite frequently. Whose fault is it that those e-mails were sent? The service providers? Or the person that thought it would be funny to sign someone else up to said services?
