Mr. Caccavale,
I received the below email from your organization and I am concern your
company has violated the unwritten rules on the MQSeries List Server which
is a community of technical experts from vendors and corporations alike.
This is not a forum for vendors to obtain contact names for the use of
marketing, but to identify problems or solutions in order to better the
individual, team, business unit, division, and ultimately the corporation.
If a vendor benefits by a plug-in based on a solution to a list server
member's situation we find that acceptable and cautiously encourage it. I
personally, along with a reasonable number of my MQ associates, find this
method of "cherry picking" contact names on the list server unprofessional,
lacking in creativity, and a sign of desperation.
At this time I could not recommend your organization to my associates or
upper management based on the lack of professionalism you have shown here.
Although I do understand the sales/marketing philosophy one may assume by
mass mailings, in reality most technicians who influence decision makers
are more than likely to be turned off by this method of advertisement. So,
while I am recognizing the fact I received your email I am also trying to
help you out with any future turmoil you may bring upon yourself for the
mistake one of your employees may have initiated.
Please note the only way for your organization to obtain my email address
is from the MQSeries List Server.
With best regards,
Christopher
