An event to miss...

I checked my radix.net email account this weekend and found, to my surprise and annoyance, that I had hit my disk space limit. That meant that email messages would be bounced.

I found the principal culprit: an unsolicited message with a 2.4 megabyte attachment.

That message was sent to White Wolf and the Phoenix, plugging an event at the Baltimore Zoo -- their Reggae and Brew Festival -- with the idea that we might be interested in vending there.

I sent a strongly worded email to the contact person explaining how that huge attachment was out of line and how that caused me particular trouble. Her response:

I was trying to get people excited about our event, not trying to make anyone angry, Its funny because I got nothing but good responses back except from you.

Thanks anyway! Have a great day!

Can you say "unclear on the concept"? Can you say "denial of service"?
I'm composing a followup message to her that uses the latter phrase.

If you might have been considering going to that event, I ask you to at least give it a second thought. I'm going to try to discern someone further up the food chain to complain to.

We Are Not Amused.
