Dear Eclipse,

I’ve set my preferences on your system to not receive marketing mails. Therefore, it seems strange to get an email from your marketing manager telling me this fact, which I know very well, and telling me that I could get all sorts of marketing mails if I signed up for them.

Maybe the fact that I’ve asked not to get mails from your marketing department is that, oh, I don’t know, I don’t want them? All I want from your company is a pipe to connect my computers at home to the Internet. If I ever feel pressed for the lack of mail hosting, anti-spam measures, web hosting, or anything else, I may possibly come to your website to look for it. I know you exist – you send me a bill every month, so I’m not likely to forget. In the mean time, please naff off and let me use your services in peace.

Love, Hugo.
