“Really Dumb Marketing Technique to Ensure Losing a Prospect”

Yeah, you’re right man, I’m lame. Peace out.

thats interesting, for an article making a point as to how bad someones marketing is, you never mentioned the quality of thier marketing, you never mentioned what prompted you to think that thier marketing sucks, the only thing you mentioned was that it was email marketing and that they WERE in compliance with the can spam act. following your thought process, every single email marketing piece that has an unsibsribe button (aka spam that is in compliance with the can spam act) would be labeled sucky marketing. if that was truly your point then you should have written an article based around how bad the marketing was not how easy it was for you to unsibscribe…

Which it does.

You are completely correct: the quality of the company is irrelevant. To me.

And I am ecstatic that they have deleted my account. Since I can’t remember signing up, this is a net gain for me.

you miss my point… youre article suggests that the only reason you shunned this company and did not give them a chance was because they were going to cancel a free account after you left it inactive for two months and forgot about it and probably cant even remember your password or the correct email you used for the site… the quality of the company is irrelevant. and if you are that worried about hackers then you should be exstatic that they DO delete accounts after 2 months without a login. my point is that its ludicris to dismiss a legitimate opportunity to save yourself money just because that company performs general houskeeping on thier website… my point has nothing to do with how good thier marketing or thier product is

Deleting my account does me a favor: slightly reduces my security exposure should they get hacked.
