You gave your cell to a promotions list?

I think a lot of the problem is some people are just weasels, plain and simple.

A lot of people in the club industry just aren't that bright, and have yet to be introduced to the bcc function, allowing the less morally inclined to poach those lovely forawrds with about 30+ recipients. (lots of TOTA summer events suffer from this )

From my time with Boa, combined with having to signup with that crappy docks site to view event pics. I now get roughly 200 emails a week.

Not to mention that sjradio I used to bitch about somehow getting my cell # and spamming the shit out of me all summer last yr or the yr before.

I never had a list, but just went selectively through my address book and invited people who I wanted to come out or wanted to see, often dropping the occasional PM on here as much as I did email people... I was more concerned with getting my party family and favourite people out and in for free than I did my numbers :P

I don't like getting mass emails from people when I didn't sign up for them, nor have I ever asked for list from them for an event, especially when there's no option to click on a link to have them stop e-mailing.

I dont mind knowing. As long as they send pic via links not attachments, and the titles of the e-mails say what they are about.
