Please take me off your ping lists. By the time someone gets around to pinging me, I've already read it all and it's a waste of time.
Not only that, but I often get pinged several times on one thread.
It would be nice if that were true. In my case, I am on several lists that I did not ask to be on.
If you were really interested in service to your customers you would do a periodic check. Send out messages to everyone on your list telling them they must ask to remain on the list by a certain date or they will be removed. In other words, you rebuild the list from those that verify they want to be on your list.
Of course, if you do this you may actually find out just how many of the people on your list really want to still be on your list. :-)
She'll stop when she needs thick glasses, now that you tole her that!!!
I did but don't see anything that pertains to me.
I have actually done this, in freemail so it would get their attention. You would be surprised how few responses I get back. I do get requests to be removed, these are always followed up with a response to confirm to them that I not only got the message but they have been removed. People who request to be added are informed that it is high volume and that they can opt back out at anytime.
No, I think he's tryin ta cumunnicate with the Jeff that's on this here thred!
Poor guy is now so baffled by alla this he prolly has gone pingy, by now!!! That's vey series!!!

Mr. Ben Manu
Union Bank of Nig. Plc
ATTN:
Perhaps, this proposal might come to you as a surprise, since you have neither met or known me before. I will tell you at once what it is all about. My name is Mr. Ben Manu , staff of Union Bank of Nigeria; some times in 1999, one of our esteemed customers MR. ADII BANTAM, died in an air crash, off the Coast of Lagos, before his sudden death he was the Chief Executive and Managing Director of Cross Atlantic Oil Company and he maintained personal account; both current and savings with us. As at the time of his death, he has about US$35 Million in both accounts.
After his death, our Bank made several efforts to contact his Next of Kin without success. We also contacted his Country^Òs Embassy in Nigeria (As he is not from Nigeria), who after about three months got back to us, saying they could not locate MR. BANTAM^ÒS family or relatives. It was at this point we notified the Nigerian Government through the Central Bank and the Federal Finance Ministry about Mr.Bantam^Òs Account and my Bank was directed to place Mr. Bantam^Òs money in a special account.
The Government, last week sent us a letter asking us to locate Mr. Bantam^Òs relatives and pay them the money or contribute the money to the Government to buy arms and ammunitions Government needed to assist the civil war presently going on in Liberia one of West African Countries. Considering this directives, an extra ordinary meeting of the Board was called, and it was resolved that our Bank should not support the plans of the Government. I was mandated to as a matter of urgency contact anybody I can trust abroad to assist us take the money abroad in the name of Mr. Bantam^Òs relative; hence I am sending you this letter even though we have neither known or met ourselves.
My Bank want to present you as the next of kin (relative to Mr. Bantam) to the Bank. Your nationality does not matter as you could be his Uncle, Cousin, etc from either the mother^Òs side or his father^Òs side. Should you accept this proposal, we shall send to you, additional information (Bio data) on Mr. Bantam. I am mandated to get the money by all means to any account abroad. When you have received the money, it will be shared in a manner that will be satisfactory to both yourself and my Bank.
Our shares can be invested for us for Two years as the case may be under your direct control until we give you instructions on what ever to do with it. Should you be interested, kindly get back to me through the above e-mail clearly stating your private fax and phone numbers, For me to provide you with additional information before we begin the fund transfer.
While I urge you to get back to me without much delay; the code should be OMEGA. Any communication without this code should be disregarded.
Kind regards, Mr. Ben Manu
