Some excerpts from the email,

"I have no interest in marketing that will not pay off."

"There are many creative ways for me to market my books as has been proven by the success of my book and the last form of advertising that I would consider is what you are offering."

"...do not send me any more e-mails."


Geeeezzz, what ever happened to "no thank you?"

Well, okay then!!!

I, for one, will not be reading his book.

Perhaps they want their advertising to reach people in their 50s and early 60s who are not yet retired. I'm not familiar with the book but I would guess it's a book that helps people to plan for their retirement. Most people here are already successfully retired.

But there's no reason to be rude, or is there? Perhaps the person was recently banned from a message board.
