I thought this was amazing and had to send it on.
I just recieved a promotional email from Microsoft. As much of my job entails
using their tools and environment, I get these things from them once in a
while. Here is the quote of the last paragraph of the email:
"If you prefer not to receive future promotional e-mails of this type, please
click here to unsubscribe. Please note that it can take up to eight weeks to
update customer information in our database; therefore, you may receive e-mail
from us within that time period."
The "all powerful", "we-have-the-best-software",
"we-can-make-your-IT-infrastructure-efficient-with-our-tools", "innovative"
Microsoft requires up to 8 WEEKS to update spam email databases? EIGHT WEEKS?
I'll bet it does not take that long to opt-in!
Granted, they are probably giving themselves way too much time as a buffer for
any problems. But, if it actually takes longer than one week, their own IT
infrastructure is designed wrong.
