Yes, for the same thing you did Garland, I stopped doing that a long time ago though because I ended up losing a lot of subscribers. So I basically follow the same principals as Rob, because if you don't, then the trust factor goes out the window, people stop buying from you and then well you know how the rest goes .. I barely even mail out to my list, think it's been maybe 3 times in the last month and a half. I had some guy recently bugging me to do a mail out to my list for him, I knew he sent out way too many mailings to his list, so I wouldn't give him the information he wanted. That scene didn't end too well and his immaturity about it caused me to X-nay him completely.

I also did a whole lot of apologizing to a few people for going into hiatus and not telling them what was going on. For a long time, someone in this forum used to have a sig file asking people if anyone knew where I was. Talk about REAL friends in this industry, I would say my most trusted friendships have been built via internet marketing, so I don't ever want to harm them.

And Mike, I agree with what Rob said above.
