IML: Poor old Big Dog

["Hugh & Therese" <hugtrees@xxxxxxxx>]

Poor old Big Dog!  There he was, trying to help a list member get a product 
he actually seems to need, and now all these messages.

My advice to Phil / Big Dog would be to introduce himself a little better in 
his e-mails.  It is amazingly true that just about every problem is caused 
by bad communication.  If only Saddam had not been such a big fibber about 
his weapons program  . . . oh, well, maybe a bad example, but you get the 
point.

A short introduction along the lines of, "I am a list member who is also a 
vendor," would have gone a long way to avoid setting off the hackles of the 
original recipient.  I'm not sure I would not have felt the same way myself. 
We live in an increasingly dangerous internet world and no one likes to get 
unsolicited offers from unknown senders.

Just a thought from someone who has been known to be unable to communicate 
properly himself, on occasion.

Hugh
