[Dynagroove] question - what is reasonable?

[BadIYE at aol.com]

Yo Pat!!!  What's up man?  been a while....
 
I personally promise my mailing list an average of 1 e-mail a week and I  
keep that promise.  Of course, sometimes, you have to send another e-mail  
because something came up, or there is some sort of deadline for buying tix or  
something like that you want to remind people about, but that's a rarity and it  
is obvious to the reader why there was a need to re-send.  From what I can  
tell, my subscribers seem to appreciate the one a week limit.
 
As a promoter, being on several list, I just assume I'm going to get  
bombarded, so I force myself not to be bothered by the inordinate quantity of  same 
event e-mail.  On the other hand, I do worry about others who  don't follow 
that same philosophy of courtesy.  There could be a nefarious  reason behind 
that: by drowning a shared mailing list (like dynagroove) with  repetitive 
e-mails, they hope that the members will gloss over or even  delete the 1 e-mail 
about the party that competes with theirs....but then  that could just be me, 
being skeptical and shit...been following that Karl  Rove story way too closely I 
guess...haha.
 
Take care.  Hope to see you sometime soon brotha, it's been too  long!!

Hey  Pat....

I opened an email account that I use for those list only...It  does get
annoying but I just "star" events of interest and archive or  delete
the rest...

but to answer the question....one a week is  enough...

BTW- I'll send you a GMAIL invite
