			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To whom it may concern,</p>
<p>I will not join your mailing list.</p>
<p>If your company, service or group requires me to get information via a mailing list, forget about it.  If you enroll me I will unsubscribe, I will not enroll, and I will do everything in my power to avoid using your product.  PLEASE CREATE AN RSS FEED.  An organization that I belong to offered events calendar updates via email.  I will most likely suggest using an RSS feed, I will offer my assistance and then unsubscribe. </p>
<p>I know a great many people don&#8217;t know what RSS is, so I hope my little protest and offer of help (for those things I believe in) will encourage companies to find out about RSS. I then hope this new found understanding of RSS will result in an RSS option.  The information flow that I sustain via RSS aggregation, filtering and classifying is far more efficient than email.  </p>
<p>So please give me a break, wake-up and read the writing in my RSS feed.</p>
