Near-Spam
April 30th, 2009
What’s your tolerance for near-spam?
Near spam is that stuff you recieve from rewards programs, or business mailings, or other things where you’ve allowed yourself to be placed on a company’s mailing list. Not spam, but not always stuff you are interested in, and it usually arrives a little more often than you’d care to read it.
My tolerance is one to two a week, per source. I have a nasty habit of unsubscribing or filtering emails when, say, Wyndham Rewards decides to bug me twice in two days. Yes, I am annoyed to the point of action when I have to push the ‘delete’ button twice in two days. Look out Pederson. You aren’t the only crotchety old man on the block.

I filter my GMail account pretty aggressively, actually; I have not quite 40 labels for various and sundry things. If I’ve decided I don’t wish to continue receiving something, I’ll unsubscribe if I’m not feeling too lazy.
