Here we are, decades into the Internet revolution, and businesses large and small are still "alternately clued" about email, opt-in, and online sales funnels Yesterday I received the above in a message from, according to the email header, someone named "Cory Piddington" but the message was signed in the body by "Your friend in the automotive industry, Tabatha Huacuz, Internet Care Specialist". Along with thanking me for time I hadn't given, the message thanked me for an inquiry I hadn't made, so I simply deleted it and went on with my life.
