I can remember back in the olden days of getting flyers in the mailbox. I used to get really excited when they came as I would get to see what deals where on during the week, and make a list of those things that I really wanted.
Now, I get the same sort of offers in my email box that I used to get in the mail, and sometimes, they get me excited as well.
Fore example, there was a discount offer on some DotNetNuke web hosting that would work perfectly for the new website that I am working on. Had I not subscribed to the deal list, I would never have known that there was a special coming up.
I must say though, I do get a lot of junk offers in my email box, that I just end up deleting. But, I still get excited about those rare, good offers that come through - it makes it all worthwhile.
