Good Day:

I've been working very hard on my website: and if you like what I've done, a link from
http://www.attrition.org/errata/dataloss.html would be greatly appreciated, 
and will help in letting people know about our products. If you are interested in a 
link exchange send us the URL of where our link is on your site.

Here's the HTML code for the link:

and NEC Business Phones and Phone Systems

Thanks a bunch! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Respectfully,

Mark Phillips

Hi Mark,

I have a question.

At what point did you become a spammer?

We didn't opt into your "mailing list", so kindly remove all attrition.org
email addresses.

We'll link to your site roughly around the same time you get a clue.  See
you in 2018 or later.
