According to the emails I’ve received just in the past couple of weeks:
I’m actively seeking employment in Pennsylvania
I own rental property in Las Vegas
I have wives and children enrolled in schools in NC, VA and Canada.
I travel back and forth between San Francisco and New Zealand frequently
I frequent some “interesting” dating sites, including at least one that caters to cheating spouses. (Great, thanks to whoever used my email address to sign up for that at the same time my wife is across the country, that doesn’t look odd!!!!)

Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing how that compares to what we’re doing in 8 now. I love using 8 to batch process things like bates stamping, or exporting TIF images, etc….

We can’t help it. It’s in our nature to fix things that are broken. That’s what attracted us to working with technology in the first place. More than likely we started out troubleshooting, seeing how things worked and understanding what was wrong so that we could fix it, or maybe even improve upon it. That’s…
This caught my interest – Let’s penalize cold emails. If a recipient chooses, “I never signed up for this mailing list,” I think MailChimp and other email providers should penalize the sender, too. Maybe not with the voracity they penalize under the “this is spam” response, but if you are cold emailing (sending emails to…
