While agreeing with everything Stef said before about this, the other

reason I think it's amazing you keep sending these emails to a list of

hundreds (more?) people in the industry is that it doesn't make you look

very professional. Maybe it's just me, but if I saw an article written by

you now or in 10, 20 years time I'd be thinking "Oh there's an article by

that woman who just sends mails to mailing lists for research." 


I'm not saying that's all you do, but that's how it feels and personally

I'd want to be a little more restrained in how I appear to people. You've

been on here long enough that surely you could just target the people on

the list you think might have something relevant to say? Perhaps you do

that too, but whatever, personally I find the constant trawling of the

list for info annoying and tacky.
