I subscribe to various e-zines and newsletters and I have
received many such e-mails advising me to head over to a web
site to check out a newsletter. I don't know if I'm typical
but unless I have some compelling reason to go there, i.e. I
desperately need the information or am highly intrigued by
the topic, I won't waste the time. I won't say NEVER but
e-mail requires a lot of my time. And, as of yet, I have not
bothered to pursue any of these "advisory" e-mails.
I feel as though I'm being manipulated into going somewhere
I hadn't intended and I suspect ulterior motives. I also
dread trying to wade my way through the inevitably
disjointed site looking for something which i may or may not
find beneficial. Note: the exception is when I receive an
excerpt from an article with information in which I am
specifically interested.
