Expose – Interview With an Email Poseur; Episode 1
After so many years one would think the topic of email list buying (and selling) would be a settled Email Marketing Worst Practice; the worst of the worst practices. For most it is, but there are still a few out there that tie themselves in knots trying to challenge it.
I’d said in Passing the True Beauty Email Test I’m at the point of metaphorically hoisting heads on stakes. And when the opportunity presents itself….
The following is a fictional account of a recent discussion. Since the “guest” believes that posting to public forums grants license of use to anyone viewing that information to be used anyway the collector of that information sees fit, by participating he gives me permission to use it by default.
Any similarities between the characters in this episode including appearance, sound, look, speech, quotes, or hairstyles are strictly coincidence. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Stay tuned for our next episode when we will answer emailed questions (with their explicit permission, of course) from some of our viewers.

Stevie…YOU SUCK!!!!
Now for my question.
Stevie…YOU STILL SUCK???
What an interested way to dissect my quotes, edit them, and leave out anything that poses a threat to your ideologies. It was cute and I would consider it a great ad for my services, but you definitely edited it like Big Brother.
What was it you said, Stevie? Keywords on a public forum; use them anyway you want?
“Email Marketing is permission-based, ask any ISP”. Where do you get off lying. Email Marketing as an action has no stipulation of “permission-based” and neither does any law in the US. So, for you to keep reiterating that, “Email Marketing is Permission-Based” is just that…you saying it.
Have you asked any ISPs lately? And then there are all those other agreements with registrars and hosts, and such….
You’re going to have to come up with a little more than “where do you get off lying”. Burden of proof is on you, my friend.
I’ve had a great time ridiculing you, but everything must come to an end sometime. Come back with something more than “your beliefs” based on the monkey’s you’re pulling out of your butt….
Stevie, Stevie…Permission may not be law, but it is a best practice, and all major US ISPs believe this. Since it is their network, they get to make the rules. Your protestations of innocence are irrelevant to the ISPs…which seems clear enough as your websites are offline. Wonder why?
Given your statement that your ISP, hosting company, and registrar are behind you, I find this all to be very, very funny.
Keep on keeping on, dude. You seem to have attracted the wrong kind of attention. I will enjoy watching the results.
My sites are all online and were only down for a few days while I fixed my errors. You caught me messing with GoDaddy. I know better than to give them any money, but I made a mistake. Fixed now. I even have a solid UDRP dispute on GoDaddy and you probably paid for another site and have already increased my sales this month. Good job promoting me…thanks!
Stevie, you don’t strike me as all that sharp. You claim that there is no stipulation of permission, yet there CLEARLY is, as labeled on multiple ISP websites. Their servers, their rules. They regularly block millions of messages a day, because their users define them as unsolicited and unwanted.
