AND YOU ARE URGED TO READ THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY
You may not use this mail address nor my contact details in any manner to send any unsolicited commercial mail into this network nor to call me for any marketing or telesales effort whatsoever. If you do, steps will be taken in terms of the law (and no matter where you live there are laws that govern the abuse of e-mail) to stop you doing so again and/or prosecute you to the fullest extent possible.
Such steps will include action via the internet and its regulatory bodies and/or criminal charges and/or civil litigation. Making use of this mail address for any unsolicited commercial mail and/or invitations to join your professional/social network or page implies your understanding and acceptance of the consequences of such unauthorised use which may include, but not be limited to, any of the following:
1. An immediate complaint of abuse to your ISP and hosting service provider.
2. The blacklisting of your address on international watch lists (which means your mail will not be routed by most world-wide ISPs) which will make the planet a silent place for you as regards electronic communications. Whatever you may have been doing via e-mail will no longer be possible. Yes. Really.
3. The laying of a criminal charge where appropriate and/or the laying of a complaint with your local government representative's office. Generally, they do not like this and will often instruct the authorities in your home country to ensure you comply with international laws on unsolicited mail..
4. Issue of a summons for costs incurred in tracking you and removing this
address from your mail lists and any others you may have caused it to be listed
upon, for which purposes any unauthorised use of this mail address will also be
deemed to be your consent to the jurisdiction of the small claims and/or
magistrate's court, held in the district of
Pinetown, Kwazulu/Natal, South Africa.
In short, this address and my contact details - wherever they may be
listed - are not now, have never been, nor will ever be, opted-in
to anything related to unsolicited marketing! Do not pass
them on to your friends for their promotions,
sales pitches or any other purpose except for them to contact me for legitimate purposes relating to
engaging my professional services or the site and
content. Do not use them for anything other than the use for which it is intended.
For the avoidance of doubt, the existence of my contact data on any professional association website, data-list you may have or have purchased for marketing does not mean I have opted-in to your marketing or contact. So, tele-marketing calls, e-mails or messages involving invitations to Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In and other similar nagging entities, chain-mails, appeals to assist the last surviving mud-toad in Patagonia, to help someone reach a mythical world record of greeting cards (or similar letters relating to any appeal) or any attempt to try and sell any unsolicited service or to further appeals to support organisations (and in particular any anarchic or terrorist group like greenpeace, savethechildren, extinction rebellion, occupywallstreet, stoptheheathrowrunway, theUK Labour Party, the US Democrats, any socialist inspired African political party, anyone claiming to be "freedom fighting" or similar groups), will all be considered as unsolicited communication and in violation of Article 12 of the United Nations UDHR.
If you are happy that your message is legitimate and constitutes a valid use of the mail address, then here it is. Please note, however, that I am not a persistently connected person. Mail is dealt with at set times each day so do not send more than one message within any 48 hour period on the same topic - you will usually get an answer within this time-frame.
Remove all spaces and substitute the appropriate symbols for the bracketed words.
