"...and then you go and do something like this....and TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!!"

So I have to hand it to Kittery Trading post. Once more I can love that place. I had this in my email this morning from the Maine Inland Fish and Wildlife:

Dear Friend of the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife:

As you know from our recent email to you, IF&W had a Freedom of Access Act request from Kittery Trading Post for our customer email address list. The Freedom of Access Act (FOAA) is a law that requires a state agency to provide public records to anyone upon request. We provided our customer email address list to Kittery Trading Post, and Kittery Trading Post did pay the fee that is required to get that list.

Both Kittery Trading Post and IF&W apologize for any issues this matter may have caused you. The folks at Kittery Trading Post have always had a great working relationship with this agency and our customers. This email is to inform you that Kittery Trading Post has decided to return our customer email list to us unused. We look forward to continuing our strong partnership into the future.

Your Friends at the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife
