Stupidity or Just Not Caring?

I hate to label people, however, at this point I am at my wit's end!

I just did a mailing and as required by the CAN SPAM act I included a “specific” link for removal from further mailings! The link was further programmed to go to a special email box for the quickest, most efficient removal processing!

Why is it that people can't just click on the link, instead of making things more difficult for everyone by sending empty emails with just the word REMOVE in them. Remove from what? Some even sent empty emails that are just that... EMPTY!

I wonder if I am a masochist to have done the mailing in the first place!

Well unfortunatly people do not always follow instructions. These instructions can be simple or they can be complex but I would say that any email that winds up in your "special" inbox is wanting to be removed. This is where the "quickest, most efficient removal prcess" comes into play It dont think that it is for the EMail recipiants but for the Mass mailer. So sorry to say most people do not read instructions. They have a general idea of what to do even if it is not exact.
