| Aug 16, 2013 at 12:05 | comment | added | TrevorD | Neither makes any sense unless the sentence continues with e.g. "... receiving spam e-mails apparently sent by me" or "... receiving emails from me after asking to be removed from my mailing list." Else, why are you apologising that I receive e-mails?! | |
