[NEohioPAL]A request from my fellow listers

[Kathleen Cromie]

I'm sure you're all beautiful.  I'm sure the font on your advertiesment is 
perfect.  I'm sure your artwork is a gift fit for no less than the Photoshop 
7 Gods themselves.

But my inbox just can't handle all those images.

If you think an image of your posters or actual artwork (Hobbits, I'm 
talking to you) will make me more intersted in your message, than I'm afraid 
you've neglected to modify your advertising campiagn to the unique demands 
of email.  I. E. space, and what we do when we don't have it (delete first, 
ask questions later).

So this message is not just for the sake of my straining inbox and the 
personal and proffessional emails that get bounced back to sender unseen by 
me because someone just had to include artwork  - it's also for the sake of 
your message, which we'll all be less inclined to curse (and more inclinced 
to read) if we're not trying to calculate how 40% of our inbox space could 
be wiped out with one Annie auditions notice.

I'm sure that if the senders are a little more mindful of this problem in 
the future, the receivers will be able to read and possibly respond to more 
of this list's valuable notices.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely yours,

Kathleen "K.C." Cromie

PS: The "Annie" mention was just a generic example, but I have in the past 
had one email from Fred's List wipe out almost 40% of my space - lest anyone 
think those of us with this problem are just refusing to use our delete 
button and then blaming others when our inbox can take no more.


A survey at Harvard found that only 3% of students had a written list of 
life goals.  Years later, those 3% were doing better than the other 97% 
combined.
