I was just thinking that as I caught up on the thread. I ignore unsolicited sales contacts as a general rule. If they persist to the point of annoyance, I'll kindly advise them that I'm not interested, and ask they cease. If they still persist, I'll drop out the 'I'll never do business with you, and will start advising my peers not to do so either.' It's very rare things ever get that far. Just ignore it. Or if you're feeling saucy, go full on '419 Eater' on them and burn up as much of their time as possible. I have no ethical issues about wasting someone's time after they've been asked politely not to waste mine. On Wed, Jun 21, 2017 at 9:25 AM, Josh Luthman <josh () imaginenetworksllc com> wrote:
