My experiences do not really match: Some CV compiler website has been emailing me ever since I posted on the thread, and the opt out is "If you don't want to hear from me anymore, just let me know".

Except there's no MX record for the website (Image: https://elixi.re/i/oamrerwz.png ), so I can't reply to them asking them to remove my email from their list.

If the person behind those emails is reading this: Please stop, it's annoying and I will not give you my money, even with a discount.

In taking a look at your postings on the 'Who want to be Hired' thread you list your email outright: [email protected]

I've written mine out as : robert.heffern (at) gmail

I suppose that the way that I wrote out my email address is just a bit more difficult for a computer to parse and scrape, hence my lack of spam. However, it may also be screening out people that want to talk to me, and I would never know.

That said, you have a very impressive gitlab resume! Great work!
