Welcome to my world. But let’s take the opportunity to look at it as an innovation opportunity: in my case, I often subscribe to something simply because I wish to remember it. It is no use bookmarking, because I will never look at it. It is increasingly no use emailing, because of the clutter you mention. I pushed certain items to RSS so they could be batched separately from person-to-person email, which seems to work to some extent. I would just query on WHY you expressed an interest at the time of subscription to identify a job that email is doing for you, but not at all well.

You are so smart to realize that this situation cries out for innovation!  If I could, for instance, pick when I wanted to see the information from my travel luggage guys, or learn what’s new with that search firm, I might be more amenable.  But right now, their stuff comes at me when what I’m really trying to get done is something else entirely, converting their potentially useful messages to irritating junk.  Before we really get the best out of email outreach, we’re going to have to figure out how to have it come to us when we really are interested in what it has to say.  Thanks for the comment!

Okay Rita, I’m taking you off my blog feed so you don’t have to ask! I won’t send you everything, just the really pertinent stuff. I keep my old E-mail address for commercial pitches and subscriptions, like the $10 off from DSW that I wouldn’t want to miss, but I don’t want it showing up next to a message from my nearest and dearest. That old E-mail puffs up as big as a Macy’s balloon, but who cares?

Of course sometimes I miss seeing that $10 coupon but oh well.

BTW I adopted your dictum of “one topic per E-mail message” and it works well.

Hey, Barbara, you know I’m always interested in what you have to say - maybe a once in a while update (which is what I do).
