It was clear it was only an invitation. If it did more than that then it lied to me and is breaking the law. Sorry you were subscribed but I had no idea it would do that. You can verify this by opening up a throwaway email account through Gmail, signing up and selecting invite friends option you will see it says it is only inviting them not adding them. Then it apparently proceeds to subscribe every address. So I really did not know this would happen. Sorry again. Seems this is bogus site but it sure seemed legit. > > > On Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 1:42 PM, Zachary Uram <netrek at gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi Netrek, > > Zachary Uram added your name to Academia.edu, the global directory of academics and graduate students.
