I am a member of the BHS, I support them and think they do excellent work.
I CANNOT stand, however, to receive any more damn e-mails from the Region.
In July I had eight generic e-mails (and others beside). I don't have the time, or energy to read that many e-mails every week. :(
I am starting to feel dread when I open my inbox, ahd have taken to deleting them unread. I am also considering either asking to revert to paper updates (costly for the BHS) or not renewing my membership.
Communication is great - but it is quality, not quantity that counts.
I'd rather look up a decent website for information when I need it.
Thank you for listening to my rant :p :D
Anyone else feel the same?
S :D
 
Is this from Stoneleigh?

We discussed emails at a local level some time ago but understood that there was a problem keeping a database locally that would satisfy the provisions of data protection so never went for it.

Either you have a more forward thinking country committee or you are Much More Important than me;)
 
There has never been any doubt - I am Much More Important Than You. :D
They are from the Regional Development Officer, a lovely lady; our region is making an effort to collect BHS members' e-mails to save the costs on posting paper copies (and at this rate, killing postmen from overwork :p).
And although I consider myself Very Special, and receive Special Peoples' Emails too, I wasn't even counting them - the ones I am ranting about are sent to every Common Member in the region!
S :D
PS What region are you in - I'll move?! :p
 
I'm a gold member and don't get any e-mails!

Maybe you've been put on there naughty list by a cob owner ;)

By the way did you see Bob le Cob jumping at Hicksted??!! :D
 
If you use eg outlook, can you set up a new folder for BHS, then filter all the emails in there, so they don't linger in your inbox? I do this for something I 'belong' to, means I rarely read the info unless I decide to read it, or need a particular bit of it, which is then easy to search the one folder for

You had the chance to live in the same select area as me but no - you had to go swanning off somewhere posher - spam emails from your BHS rep are the price you pay:p:D

I know, I know.
I just couldn't bring myself to live with the proletariat though.
It wasn't that I couldn't find a single house to live in or anything.
S :D
 
I think Shills should take some advice off the thread directly underneath this one - named "calmer".

You know that ECDL you have, Shilly? Use it to send the email address directly to your junk box. That way, should you ever change your mind and wish to open some BHS Speshial Junk-E's you will find the most recent ones waiting for you with the same hopeful look on their face as that fat cob of yours does when you open the feed bin :D

Either that or move to the North West. Not one email or broken postman in sight :p
 
You could always try the old 'Return every email to sender' trick. That doesn't half wind them up!!

P'raps there's a bug in the Hades network?
