Hi Linda,
Thank you for once again bringing up a point that has been sitting on my mind since the feature was first introduced.
Like you, I now get regular "Join under me!!" email from friends who have yet to learn that relationships are far more important than hype in marketing.
Even with all the forums here owned by experienced people who know how to market and how to properly use the tools available, newbies and those who stubbornly refuse to learn will continue to try to fling as much mud at the wall as they can in the faint hope that some of it will stick.
Linda, much as I would love to offer a reasonable answer to this challenge, I don't have one yet. Perhaps Bogdan can offer a "How to Email" course that everyone has to pass before they're allowed to use the system! LOL!!
Personally, I don't see any problem with using the forums. It's simple to start a new thread and send it to everyone who wants to hear from me. The personal message system still works great for keeping in contact with individuals. So far, I haven't used the Direct Contact feature as there just hasn't been any need. Maybe it will be a great way to say "Happy New Year" to everyone or something like that!
-------------------------------------------------
Adland is not a safelist.
Don't treat it like one.
How we all use that "Direct Contact" link can make or break Adland as we know it.

Exactly! If members want to be on a safelist, they are welcome to join mine and get a free upgrade, or several thousand others online!
God bless,
Dave
