Cleaning out my e-mail inbox and found this from earlier this year... he's complaining about having to complete ONE subscription form for AimDIRECT Entrepreneur Ezine.
10 minutes later, he complains to my autoresponder address.
Background -- Subscribers to my ezine receive access to my marketing toolbox. The password is changed on a weekly basis, so my subscribers share one password each week.
Blame it on my creative marketer side... after extensive testing, I've found that by making subscribing to my ezine as difficult and frustrating as possible, I am able to intentionally drive away 98% of prospective readers while the remaining 2% unsubscribe due to rejected passwords.
That's 100% conversion rate, baby. Beat that.
And 2 days later...

From: "John (last name deleted)" <*******@ntworld.com>I don't know, John. I haven't a single iota why you felt compelled to complete my subscription form multiple times...

HOW MANY TIMES AM I EXPECTED TO FILL IN AN APPLICATION FORM? I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE THINGS EASIER NOT MORE COMPLICATED.

Why are you wasting my time ?
I entered the User Name and password, Each time they were rejected.
First you give me six different forms to fill in for the same thing now you give me passwords that are rejected.
I thought you were supposed to teach me something, So far I have learned that you know how to generate chaos and confusion !!
Please let me know when you get things right.

From: "John (last name deleted)" <*******@ntworld.com>I didn't read it, simply to avoid soiling myself from excitement. Congratulations on the $200 month. At $2,400 a year, I too would be furious at this chaotic, confusing world that is the Internet.
