Applecare web survey + big brother?

Hello all,

I called Applecare last night about an issue I was having. We figured it out and I went about my business. This morning I had an email to my .mac email address requesting I take part in a web survey. I deleted the email and continued to surf the www. A few minutes later another one arrived to my .mac inbox. I deleted it and then another arrived a few minutes later. What gives? Is it an error on Apple's part sending 3 of the same email or did .mac detect that I deleted the email and sent me 2 more? The time on the first two is the same and the third is no gone, read below.

Also, and I am not sure what the hell happened here, but while typing this email, I went back to reading the 3rd email and it dissapeared. Not to the trash or anywhere in the mail program. Could it be that there is a system that follows these emails into my inbox and then monitors them?

Could just be early in the morning, but this is strange...

I went to the survey and it answered all the question nuteral. I was expecting to have a comment box on the next page, but nope, there was none. I may call them back in the future and when I get the email, just keep deleting them and see if they just keep coming minutes after I delete them. If they do, then I will have to have a discussion with the Steve next time I see him in Palo Alto. LOL

There was something funky going on with my .mac mail this morning, as well. Deleted messages just showed back up a few times. And, no, they weren't applecare surveys. Take off the tinfoil hat!

I hear you guys, but the fact that the email was sent to me three times with two of those being within minutes after I deleted them is odd. I will call applecare back if I cannot solve my powerbook power supply issue and see if the men in suits are at my door.

Peace...

My .Mac has been having the same problems. They're after all of us, or some junk .

It's all part of the government spy program. First they listened to our phone messages, now they watch what we type/delete. Who knows, maybe they are actually using iSight too. They disable the light and watch us all night. I think Cheney order the NSA to do this.

Ok, the fact that people got Ebay and other emails that did the same thing explains it. The fact the for me it was an Apple customer service email had me wondering.

I would not put it past a company though...

After reading Dan Brown's Digital Fortress I wouldn't be surprised if the NSA has a hyper-supercomputer that spies on us night and day. Emails that show up again and again, the iSight spying, listening to us through the microphone, it's all real!! omg!~ I know they're out there somewh-

Yeah, Dan Brown is renown for the accuracy and reliability of his research
