A brief rant: We appreciate you and the support you give to us in our role as specifiers. Please let your marketing department know that we do not need to receive Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Ground Hog Day, and Easter greeting emails from them. There are over 12,000 building product manufacturers in the U.S.

Ha! Thanks Phil for the pained laugh! I was thinking the same as I weed through emails this morning. |

I haven't noticed an increase in emails from manufacturers on my work inbox recently but those from retailers on my personal inbox have exploded! |

Not unrelated, but...
Having to register and come up with a password in order to use a site makes me terribly disinclined to specify a product from that company. |

And that's why we had the "No Registration" campaign years ago. Maybe it's time to resurrect it? Many of us wore buttons at a convention - provided by Colin - with the words "No Registration" behind a circle with a slash through it. (I don't seem to have a picture of it.) |

I'd settle for having reps stop contacting my Architects directly about projects in construction with requests to specify their products. The jobs have been bid and are in construction. Your contact is inappropriate. Just stop it.
Oh, I don't get quite so many blind emails anymore since I started unsubscribing from, and even blocking, unsolicited emails. If I receive 3 or more unsolicited emails in a month from any one source, they're relegated to the spam folder. |
