As a list member on many lists, I'm a scanner; time's too precious to read everything. Urgent items and gripping no-hype sales mails are read and acted upon ASAP. Good relevant Info mails are generally filed away for later when i have time to peruse and I have to admit many possibly are never read! UGH!!! Hype filled and irrelevant posts get zapped in seconds along with the spam. Marketers who send me 100% sales posts and nothing else get my "unsub do not contact me" reaction after a few days grace. That's my cent's worth and I'm a decent guy LOL or try to be most of the time. Blessings Lance Hi Paula

Got halfway down and a funny thing happened. I felt like I'd gone back in time. Are my eye's decieving me..?? Or did your message arrive by snail mail ?? I'll bet my comment is the most uptodate. I guess you could say I'm a slow reader. Hey hey Paula (singing here )

Having bought from you several times and experienced your fast, no bullshit replies to my questions I always read your emails. I don't know if I fall into one of the 7 categories but I must admit I am a bit frustrated at trying to start an online business. Any of your readers are welcome to look at my latest attempt - my blog which I have created as part of John Thornhill's Masterclass, started a few weeks ago and which I know you are involved in Paula. Actually you are a star in my eyes and I don't know how you manage to do all you do having your young family, D9 etc. I will always read your emails! Many thanks, Stuart Hello Paula,

In other words when I focus on what I need to do then any e-mail that does not address what I am interested in usually gets deleted. Most strange e-mails get deleted. I hope I'm saying this right. However, I am a positive person and like to trust what a person is saying is real and true, so examining, well, no time and that is boring to me. Your points are very interesting and if I followed all your directions on pleasing each type I don't think anyone would receive e-mails from me. :) No e-mails, no problems! lol Thanks for your e-mails, Paula. They always have a message and are enlightening. I don't scan yours; I just plain read them. Any category for a straight reader? :) Lately, seriously, I am deleting more and more e-mails. I wonder if this is a mega-trend? I suspect it is. In general, as communications get easier and easier to send, walls go up and sometimes it's a tug of war to get anything important read before the deleting starts. With best regards, Mary Jane Lang Dear Paula,
