Does SHARE get monies from the vendors for the mailing lists? Or
for other
participation opportunities? Is it possible that vendor
advertising is
necessary in order to be able to continue SHARE and keep the costs
to the
attendees reasonable? I can see this being the case. If so, they
should
just tell people that. Its the way of the world these days.
Jeff,
Most SHARE members understand that vendor support of SHARE is VITAL
to keeping SHARE going. There were problems in the registration
process that have since been fixed. So now if you check the box
not to receive vendor mail prior to the conference, you will not
get it. But as Bob Shannon has previously pointed out, when you
stop by the vendor booth and they scan your badge, you can expect
the Email to come. I have not received any vendor Email prior to
SHARE, so I don't know what the fuss is about.

As much as I didn't care for it. IBM (when it co-hosted SHARE) never
pulled this type of crap (excuse my english). The DEFAULT for any
mailing should be NO unless I say YES.
