We also don't send out email to our list on anyone else's behalf.  We've been asked, and the answer is always the same: we don't do that.  After all, we hate spam as much as you do.

However, if you contact us, we will automatically include you on our email list.  You won't hear from us often.  But when you do, it will be about something we think you might be interested in: public offerings of our classes, new classes, new services, that sort of thing.

You can opt out at any time and we'll remove your email from our list promptly.

We Didn't Send That!

If you arrived here looking for the source of spam advertising products too nasty to name, you've received email with a spoofed address.  We deal in software testing and quality.  We don't sell pills, personal enhancers, or stocks.  If you get an email that looks like it came from a qualitytree.com address advertising something unrelated to software development, testing, or quality, it didn't come from us.

How can that be?  In the real world, you can send a letter with someone else's return address.  In the virtual world, spammers can do something similar: they can send email that looks like it came from someone else.  And since spammers are usually doing something illegal, they sure aren't going to put their real email addresses on their slimy phishing/fake product pushing/stock scamming messages.  The windowsecurity.com site has an article with a more detailed explanation.
