Alpaca SPAM - 2006/02/11 10:38 If you are like me, you get an awful lot of unsolicited alpaca emails these days. This includes everything from info about upcoming events to promotional stuff being emailed from individual farms.

Do you consider this SPAM? Is it an annoyance that gets shuffled off to the spam folder?

What are your thoughts?

Re:Alpaca SPAM - 2006/02/14 16:06 Well in my book its not spam.

My thinking here is that the stuff I get is usually relevant. By that I mean I don't object to getting e-mails about alpacas as I am an alpaca breeder.

Admittedly it wasn't solicited but at least its relevant and sometimes useful.

However, there is now so much of it and I am so busy I probably delete about 80% without even opening them.

So what we can learn from this is that buying the AOBA mailing list is probably not the most cost effective way to communicate with alpaca breeders in general or AOBA members specifically.

Re:Alpaca SPAM - 2006/03/26 04:54 This stuff is very annoying when you are on old, rural phone lines that takes "your time" to download. Snail mail has slowed down over the years.
So what do you think about hard backed, full color, junk mail? A beautiful piece but still junk mail. That one fringes on vulgar in my world. Just an other sign of the great divide.
