    Srinagar there’s been a thread about this before. Check your settings; I never get these and am not sure why but I’m sure it’s related to some setting or other.

    Hi Drina; I have been a Member since 2006 and have not received any such solicitations.  If you go to the top of the page and click on the prompt, "Contact Us," you can Post your complaint and it will either be handled or will give you the link of where you can get the problem addressed.

    M1; you had me chuckling; but then I had to look up the word, "Srinagar," because it was capitalized and thought that may have it a valid word. It was!

    Srinagar is actually a town in India.  Crazy spell check to come up with that from "Drina."  Funny.

    I get a solicitation daily.  I just delete it with all my other solicitations.

    There are two sites. - this forum alzconnected..org and alz.org

    I do not remember ever signing up at alz.org, only at this forum site.  I have never received a solicitation message. 

    Are your solicitation messages coming from the forum site or the main site?

    Yes that is exactly what I get daily---sometimes several times daily. 

      I delete them every day, but now I am going to unsubscribe. This has gone beyond periodic solicitation and borders on harassment.

    BTW--"Drina" is a river in Serbia which runs into the Danube.There is a famous bridge over it.A book about this bridge won a Nobel Prize for literature.

     It was also Queen Victoria's first name--(Alexandrina---aka Drina for which she was known by her family).

    Apropos of nothing: our granddaughter’s name is Alexandra; we call her “Allie”.  (I don’t care for it; sounds like a thug.)  Wish she were named Alexandrina and we could call her Drina.  (I don’t get those e-mails often; just occasionally and some mailings, I guess from former donations.).
