Whether the "Concerned Citizens" gained access to email addresses from school directories, cub scouts, brownies, or some other non-HOA entity is a separate question.

Since we don't maintain an email data base, I'm not sure what we would be investigating...this is a question about gaining access to email addresses, correct?

Please forgive my careless typing! The HOA DOES NOT MAINTAIN AN EMAIL DATABASE OF THE RESIDENTS

But the Neighborhood Watch Committee did have a listserv where many residents did provide e-mail information for alert e-mails. Wonder who used to chair that committee.

This is the only community based group that I did provide my e-mail address to and I am receiving Stop BRMC e-mails.

Your information can be purchased through direct mail houses that includes email and addresses, from magazine subscriptions, warranty cards, grocery store memberships etc. This is why you should have a ghost email address when purchasing products over the internet and other request for personal information and not use your personal one. I also use a bogus telephone number so I don't appear on a telemarketing list.

There is so much conspiracy theory going on, that this is a prime example why nothing gets done in Wash DC as well as the Broadlands, as the is a Black and White to everything and not a gray (work things out).

It is interesting how this is the Braodlands Hsopital, that has pitted neighbor vs neighbor and others neighborhoods vs. Broadlands, when this is a Loudoun County issue and should be called the Loudoun HCA Hospitial or Ashburn HCA Hospital.

Just like the recreation center failed to get passed, because it was in the Braodlands vs. being the Ashburn rec center. Positioning is evrything.

IF HCA is interested in our opinion, they should step froward and have focus groups to listen to the concernes of everyone and adjust and disclose exactly what is happening.

That's nice to know, but where did they get our addresses for this particular issue? That's all we want to find out. Sounds like a simple request that has yet to be answered.

I've bought a lot of email lists for legitimate business purposes. The scenario you inference is highly unlikely. Besides, if it was true, then I would think CCoB would be producing the invoice ASAP to calm this issue. The don't have an invoice for bought email addresses. They have said, they have no idea how they got the names. No conspiracy with that. No bought lists with that answer.

When you jump to a conclusion that "Broadland's Hospital started this" makes me think you're not following the whole story. You do know this is about the CCoB email distribution list that Inova is funding, don't you?

Why is it the Broadlands community folks think they're the only group of people receiving e-mails or sollicitations?

Based on tha fact that numerous peope in Broadlands received unsolicited e-mails, I would imagine that most of the county is probably on CCB's list.

Whether they want to be or not.

Exactly what I was implying. No one is immune. And as someone stated earlier, whenever asked for an e-mail give out a ghost e-mail and telephone number.

How many of you who received the unsolicited email have a child who attends Eagle Ridge? Very interesting that an Inova Loudoun Hospital employee volunteered to manage the student directory... Here is the PTO page showing the culprit. I bet that almost everyone who received an email despite never signing up had a student at Eagle Ridge. I don't think the PTO or ERMS allow anyone to use their list for mass spams but that doesn't seem to matter to Inova or CCoB. Now they are going to tell the BOS that anyone who didn't opt out opposes BRMC?

I have NEVER been against BRMC, NEVER told anyone I was otherwise, NEVER signed any petitions, NEVER willing gave out my hotmail address.

Yet, how did they get my address? Hmmmm
