    I’ve had a few memorable emails recently — and not in a good way. They look like they are emails from old friends and contain a lot of newsy personal information before they get to the offer. Although they are getting me interested and reading, I also always unsubscribe because I feel like they are misleading. Thanks for an interesting post!

      You know, Sue, that we are attracted to different types of marketing and people – what you rec’d just doesn’t sound like what you would like – and we often market to others the way we like to be marketed to. So you are on a smart path, then! 🙂
