Most of us who frequent the SaturdaySale find it helpful to know who plans to
be at the next sale, and perhaps something about what they have to sell.  For
us, the mailings are information - not spam.  The explanation Dale gave -
someone probably signed you up thinking they were doing you a favor - is most
likely what happened.  I have been assured by the promoters that these
mailings only go to those who request  them.
