I disagree. I have contacted tens of sites, and in most cases found
that the sites want to accompany the users. In fact, only Israeli
sites seem to have the "my way or the highway" attitude, and even that
has changed since IE 7 came out.

We'll talk about that at the meeting.

A one-time event of ten emails is less effective than a one-time event
of a single email. A one-time event of a single email means a lost
purchase. A one-time event of ten emails means some zealots are being
shmucks.
