he totally lost his mind! Marlon Sanders is a
great marketer and would never spam anyone.
He's knows better.

What he did was send the e-card to his existing
customer list. I had purchased products from
Marlon. I was on his ezine list.

So I was not surprised to receive an email from
Marlon. The surprise was the e-card format.
It was different. It got your attention.

I didn't mean to mislead you or cause any
confusion. Sorry...

My personal view on spam is this: If we have
communicated before, you can email me. I would
not consider it to be spam. If I ask you to stop,
then you should discontinue sending email.

For instance, if you emailed me as a result
of this series of posts, I would have no
problem with that.

If someone else read the posts and emailed me
concerning this topic, that would be OK, too.

However, if someone skimmed through this forum
collecting email addresses, and sent me an email
as a result of that harvesting of email addresses,
that would fit my definition of spam.

I am a little more lenient than some when it comes
to spam. For some people, if they don't INVITE
your email, they will call it spam if you email
them. They may not remember exchanging emails
with you in the past. As far as they are concerned,
you are an intruder on their piece of cyber real estate.

People even forget when they opt-in to a list.
They get mad when they get what they asked for!

When you build your list, save records of opt-in
requests. At least then you will have evidence
to present to your ISP should you get a complaint
from Sallie Sourpuss or Willie Whiner.

I hope this helps, Sandi.

Be blessed,

JDB
