For some strange reason, I have actually LOST subscriptions to mailing lists – I used to get dozens and it’s just dwindled down to a trickle.

I never knew about the ability to subscribe one to another list like that – you learn something new every day.

Hi Samantha,

That’s quite an experience you had. I think a lot of people would consider getting so many emails in such a short time period to be spam as well. It’s certainly not a best practice.

I’d be curious to see an example of one of those emails you received (if you still have any of them around, of course). I’m at the email address left w/this comment. Thanks!

Wow!
I find this a little underhanded and unethical. I’m building one list and would never even consider placing someone on a list without their knowledge.

Thanks for sharing this, Samantha.

Thanks for sharing that Samantha – that explains a lot. I use Aweber, but I would never use the facility to sign up people to any list other than the one they think they’re joining.
