Attention Adobe Administrator....I am getting flooded with emails from David Powers on all kinds of subjects?

David Powers says he cannot do anything about it? So maybe Adobe wizards can?  See attachment for proof

of emails.

    Are these relative to posts on the Adobe forum, or has this person managed to grab your e-dress, and is using that for nefarious purposes. If they are to notify you of either your replies being replied to, or your posts being replies to, then maybe this ARTICLE will be of use.

    If it's the latter, then you might want to take it up with David Powers' ISP/POP provider, as it appears that David Powers isn't interested in addressing the issue.

    Good luck,

    Hunt

    PS - I do have my e-dress in my profile (at least I did prior to the recent Jive update), and only put in a cryptic reference to it, when posting into the fora.

    This relates to the thread at http://forums.adobe.com/message/2486333#2486333  It's not that David isn't interested, just he can't do anything more then he already has suggested.

    I can't say what actually happened, but I would suspect that if John messed up by reading too quickly or whatever when he came in here (at my suggestion) while he was on holiday, he probably won't bother to do so again... especially if people are going to get all negative about what is no doubt a mistake, if, in fact, it was something he did.

    Since I gave him a link to the OP's profile in the backroom, the account that he looked at was in all likelihood the correct one, so I really don't know what might be affecting Hunt's subscriptions now. My initial assumption, before other subscription questions came up, was that he just clicked on the last post in the topic to reply.

    Hunt, I would think you should be able to find and turn off subscriptions... if not, send JC a PM... he'll probably find it before he gets back to work officially Tuesday, if not Monday.


    Dorothy,

    Not sure what happened to me, but at least for today, those e-mails have stopped. There were over 1,000 yesterday afternoon, and from all over the fora, and for threads that I had never seen. These seem to have been limited to the Premiere forum and their various sub-fora, plus the Encore forum.

    Also, in the process, my screen name changed from the_wine_snob, to Bill Hunt. My old screen name had been BILL HUNT, until the move to Jive, when the_wine_snob surfaced. It had been a very old screen name (I'd even forgotten about it), from back in the NTTP days. I just left it, as "Bill Hunt," and "BILL HUNT" were listed as taken. Now, I am Bill Hunt, but do not care about that.

    I guess that both John and I were put into some sort of "trick bag," as we were both just trying to help others.

    Thanks for the comments. As I said, the mass e-mails seem to have quit for me. I'm out of town for a week, and worry what I will find in my Inbox, upon return. Still, this morning dawned clear and bright with zero e-mails. The screen name change is not worth anyone worrying about. I can live with that easily.

    Hunt
