Like an inside job
A segment of the PodCamp Philly community was spammed yesterday by a member of the community.
By his own admission, Rick Glasby scraped the registration list to offer his business services to recipients of his email message. In the mail he claims that to reduce his guilt, he will use a portion of the revenue received from the campaign to sponsor next year’s event. In other words, he spams you, you buy his services, he sponsors next year’s event with your money. It’s worth noting that he was NOT a sponsor this year.
It’s unfortunate that this kind of activity happens at all; now we have to contend with it from within.

It’s really kinda sad that someone had to spam the list. I mean, you could have met and sold your business without a problem at the event. That’s what these get together are good for.

Given that you flew down there and conducted 5 sessions (2 on audio-editing!), I hope he at least offered you a discount on the “audio introduction and outro for your podcast” he was trying to sell you!
What exactly did he say was wrong with your existing JustOneMoreBook.com intro and outro, btw?
