They're all garbage. Not "some" or "a few"—ALL. And you know it's true because you've seen these pestilences too. Research shows that email management is critical. Research shows that email management is critical. Yesterday, I found myself drowning in a sea of generic, lazy sales pitches. One read, "Hi Remy, hope this finds you well..."—oh, spare me.
