fasstrack Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 pieces of $%()? I send out 3 mass emails a year---either when I have a topic I feel strongly about or, much more rarely, to promote a gig----and am too polite to tell the people who endlessly deluge me with their self-absorbed BS to get stuffed, though I'm dying to. So I get a message from a singer with a big head icily telling me to bugger off, take me off your list. Went to hear her on gigs, have mutual friends, etc. I most certainly will take you off my list, lady. The list of human beings i know....

Rooster_Ties Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm with you. It's not like junk snail-mail that actually (physically) clutters things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Well, since I have never sent a "mass email" in my life, my sympathy level is a bit low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 If she's ever sent you one, then I think you have a point. If she's never sent one, then I think she has a right to ask for you not to send them to her. I don't like any junk/mass emails, from anyone. Most go into the circular file without being opened.

papsrus Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 She could have asked to be removed in a polite way. That might have gotten a different response. Maybe she was in a bad mood when she hit the old 'send' button -- her cat just died, her car busted down, whatever. You could send her a polite reply informing her she's been removed, apologies if the rare emails were a nuisance, meant them to be helpful, hope to catch one of your gigs soon. blah, blah, blah. Show her a little kindness. See what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are more important things in everyone's lives than perceived snubs. This is not important and I apologize for wasting people's time. I promise to waste your time more productively.
