Re: [epub] Experience with members (ultra-multi subscribing)

[Mike Merz <Mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your input, Irene, Ray.
Here is the response that I got from a TotalSaturation.com
representative, when I asked if their members received any of my
responses (or my group members...).

"Hello Mike,

You are right...we do automatically filter incoming mail.

Total Saturation customers can receive all responses simply by
requesting
them.

Thank You,
                    Sara

Research & Development
Customer Support Team!"

So they join your group (in a previous response from Sara, she told me
that I should be "happy with the increase in my subscriber base", as if
they did anything but that. They leave no identity, and receive no
posts, only make them.

She also forgets to mention that T.S. members can receive all of their
posts (they're kept on file at T.S.) *but*, they will receive so much 
e-mail that their ISP /mail server will shut down their account for bounced messages, so they "don't recommend it" (Ha !)

I'm sorry to dwell on this, but It's hard to believe there isn't a
better way to spend $39.95 (the T.S. membership cost).

I promise to make this my last post on the subject (but I'd like to hear
the responses...)
