Constant & Annoying Emails From Finescale Magazine

Then don't. You wouldn't be free to choose to or not to if not for military technology.  I don't like war, but I appreciate technology.  Not to mention I served my country for 6 years, so I appreciate my brethren that have and currently serve.

Frankly I'm surprised at the gripeage about getting emails from FSM / SA.

It's pretty standard these days to get constant marketing BS from anybody you ever do business with online.

I purchase lots of parts, tools, equipment, and supplies for business.

I always decline the "do you want to be on our mailing list?" question.

No thanks. I'll buy what I want WHEN I WANT IT.

But almost always, the marketing deluge ensues.

Guess what, marketing bozos: trying to shove crapp down my throat via constant emailage will usually provoke me to find another supplier.

PS: If you don't like a constant torrent of BUY BUY BUY !!!, never do business with Jeg's, CVS, or K&N...or Real Mazda Parts...etc. etc. etc.

You're right Bill. If I don't like emails I label it spam and usually it goes right into the spam folder.

Add me to Bill's choir.  I hate being barraged with emails - and now, texts also - from marketers. And, I, too, am MUCH less likely to do business with someone who buries me with unsolicited ads via email or text. 

One of the worst I'm dealing with at present is a local VW dealer.  I bought a Passat seven years ago. It was a fine car . . . while it was under warranty and extended warranty. Spent a lot of time in the shop, but it didn't cost me a dime and they always rolled out an equivalent loaner car. The minute the last of the warranty/extended warranty expired, the car dollared (not, nickled and dimed) me to death. Huge $$ bills.  Last straw was a little over a year ago. The newish engine they put in it expired again, but now, no warranty or good-will or any other consideration. Estimate was about twice the overall value of the car (and it still looked new, never wrecked). So I declined and went back to reliable, steady, dependable Chevys. Now, all of a sudden, the VW dealer is pestering me with emails and texts every couple of days wanting me to come in and buy a new VW.

Phat chance.  That's NEVER gonna happen again. I had enough of that 'fine German engineering' to last several lifetimes.  NEVER.

And, yet they persist. I tell them to leave me alone and it resumes with a different representative sending me the same BS. 

For the $500 trade-in value I got, I should have kept the 'fine German engineered' paperweight, painted it bright yellow, and parked it in front of the VW dealer!!!
