Following our official response on your article published
22 January 2003.

Our “One Off  Invitation" mailouts occurred on Monday 21st
January is simply not spam as it was perceived to be from
most recipients of the emails we sent out. Due to user
response, these mailouts were stopped before completion
and will NOT re-occur from Onthelist, Swiftnet or any
other company in the Swiftnet Group of Companies.

As explained clearly on the main page of our website
www.onthelist.co.nz, recipient’s information was sourced
via an intelligent spider that was developed in-house at
SwiftNet for this purpose.

Our intention was to simply invite those candidates,
carefully selected by our spider to remain on our best
list of companies in New Zealand. The benefit of those
listed companies is that they would receive increased
exposure and business from the huge volume of visitors
that still remains to this minute. We have allowed a
number of measures to allow recipients the option not to
remain on the list. They will then not receive any form of
mail of whatever kind from us.

Spamming is NOT tolerated by SwiftNet or Onthelist and we
are dismayed that some users would perceive it to be spam,
which it is not, as stated at the bottom of the mailouts
that this mail is clearly NOT SPAM.

We hereby wish to apologise for the inconvenience it may
have caused as we have NOT done anything illegal.
