    Really? Your emailing me ads now?

    NOT COOL in the least. I don't care what justification you try to sell me. I was told no spam when i joined. I expect you to uphold your end!!!

    If it is of any assistance to ya', down near th' very bottom of that email from AR/ConstantContact, mine has a link to unsubscribe my email address.
    Hope this is of some help, an' be safe, out there on th' road!

      TheCountofQ Are you referring to the newsletter about the Pit Members-only PK360 pre-release sale? If so, I'm sorry you feel this is spam. It's a special deal worked out by our own Paul Sidoriak to give Pit members first crack at $130 off this newly released cooker. Special enough that we felt members would like hearing about it.

      If these newsletters bother you, as Mr. Bones said you can unsubscribe....but you'll miss future special deals as well as the HOT from The Pit newsletter, soon to be released for this month.

          I think those newsletters are rigged! Or, or order pizza. Wait a minute. What post am I in?
          Hmmmm, am I supposed to be mad or, or am I supposed to say "I love you man" to EdF or, or
          I guess I better reread everything and straighten out my response. Never mind!

            I don’t feel like it is spam. I like knowing what’s going on in The Pit. Can’t wait till I get home to try that new PK360 grill out.

              I know where you live. I just might make the drive to unbox it for you. Where's your spare key? I'll likely need a beer.

                I could drive there in 10 hours... Let me know when the unboxing has occurred. I can bring the beer!

              Huskee I just checked the emails I deleted earlier and there were 25 that are lumped into the catagory that AR is. Places I've visited and signed up with none many of which promised no spam except.... if I agree by selecting blah blah blah.

              I personally did not mind the email and look look forward to the next one. So, unless we checked a "yes I agree to the emails" then the offer is "spam." Just because I like it does not mean it's not spam. This is on a very basic level of which. Am basic. I don't recall checking such a box.

              The count has has a valid point. Ar has always been true to their word and I can see why the offense to people. If you sent me an email for diet pork roast and ribs I think it might be spam.what if I don't want to unsubscribe from the newsletter but don't want special offers?

              im sorry Huskee but it's spam. If I had to trust anyone to send me "Spam" I would trust you and AR to send it to me. I would not trust my own mother to control spam but I would you. I'm sorry to be Swiss here but I was not offended and wanted to validate and honest point.

              Count. I see and agree with your point.

                I like the idea that this is "Special Offers." And that we should have an option somewhere to not get "Special Offers". I happen to like "Special Offers", and would not opt-out, but TheCountofQ should be able to opt-out...

                I need to go buy some SPAM and fry it up with some eggs! Be right back....

                I never thought our members would view things we try to arrange for them and notify them of as spam. Point taken. Let us think of a happy solution.

                  My solution would be to ignore ungrateful whining.
                  But that's just me.

                Spam is unsolicited emails/offers, typically from untrusted sources. You're all paying members here. Our members allow us to contact them with account-specific emails and newsletters unless they unsubscribe, so we're not unsolicited. And we're not sending emails out for our gain. We get nothing from the PK360 sale, it was something created for our members, negotiated with PK themselves. You can unsubscribe if you view our communications as spam or "unsolicited" ads, anyone can. Just know that our intent is only to offer perks and values to our members. We can't control how this is received or interpreted. That being said, let us think on this and maybe we can limit these announcements to Pit-only posts. Of course this will rule out MANY who don't log in to The Pit, but if that's what the members want. Mh & I and Paul will have to weigh this out.

                  kmhfive Yes. But EVERY. SINGLE. POST. & COMMENT in that channel would give you an alert. There's no way that I'm aware of currently to get an alert for only topics started here.

                  Of course, Huskee , you are right. Just brainstorming. Maybe some random synapse will fire that generates a solution! Now, where did I put my Scotch?

                It didn't bother me since I get so many crap emails from actual spammers that are of no value. But maybe if such offers were posted here in the Pit, that would be a good solution. If members don't ever login, well... that's on them.

                  They always are posted here in The Pit. However, we were really excited about what Paul was able to negotiate with PK just for our members, so we wanted to make sure everyone was aware.

                  Clearly I haven't been been paying attention, then. Disregard and keep up the good work!
