The Way it Works

A few weeks ago, one of our Graphic Designers approached me about an upcoming project; the new Pres wanted to send out an HTML newsletter & he would be working on the design, then sending it to me to get it to work.

In the past we have chosen not to send mass HTML email to our directory lists, because how it looks in the end is largely up to the user, & what client they use, how they've set their preferences. It's also generally accepted that HTML mailing lists should be opt-in, so that users are, in fact, getting what they want.

I checked with the designer a few times & he hadn't gotten any more info from the Great Poobah, so I tried not to think about it too much.

He called me at 4:00 this afternoon, & said that they had finally sent him the info he needed to get the layout going.

Oh, & by the way, they want to see something tomorrow... .


Idiots!
