cj i'm arguing a point. i send a LOT less email than you probably think i do... i really dont know why people think we spam much.. just because i'm vocal about my beliefs i guess. we could stop mailing today and not even notice. it is a revenue stream... one of many. i just happen to believe that anti spam advocates are terribly wrong.

i dont know where you EVER got that we send 30 mails to anybody (unless you are actually believing what alex says). When we only had 15 sites on quickbuck... after somebody entered their email on our site but didnt complete a transaction we sent them 1 offer for each of our sites all at once... the purpose was simply to grab their attention in the same way that an exit console that is 200x200 is less effective than a full screen console. they were mailed one time with proof of their prior relationship with us, not added to any lists. i dont see how that is any different than a car salesman trying to make a last ditch attempt at a sale. now that we have a lot more sites we no longer send one for each site, we send one.

you shouldnt shake your finger at me so vigorously and personally. i'm just in here to chat about the issues.

I was thinking of a thread from a few weeks back and i was sure you advocated sending 30 emails to the 1 address ... i may have my wires crossed.

my apologies for the finger shaking
