That's reasonable.

I think I see the problem. I would venture to guess this is simply an emailed sales pitch (which would explain why it is nothing *but* a sales pitch).

Most everything I have ever read (not specifically Corey's, but *everything*) tells me that once a person subscribes to anything, or buys something, or requests more information or personally contacts me for just about anything else, I have the right to add them to my mailing list and send them emails, until and unless they tell me not to. I have a real problem with this -- not so much the ones who subscribe but especially people who ask questions or request more information -- and it's one of the major reasons I haven't followed through with building, maintaining, and [gasp!] actually mailing to a list. I'm *extremely* uncomfortable with it. (It should be noted this is also one of the major reasons -- if not *THE* major reason -- I don't have a pot to tinkle in).

Ooops, I got off on a tangent (I have been known to do that once or twice). My point is simply that it's legitimate to send you this email if you actually subscribed -- but I can't understand why you haven't received any of the good newsletters (unless you unsubscribed when you got this email, or just started deleting them).

WHOA!! I'm e-mailing this to Corey's office and telling them what I think of it (believe it or not, they actually listen; they don't necessarily change, but at least they read it and reply).

Like I said, it does and it doesn't -- but I'm glad you aren't offended and I hope this cleared up some stuff.

Luv,
