Robert Redford’s Utah Ski Resort Sundance has an email newsletter that is sent out twice a month to 15000 subscribers. In order to subscribe one must sign up and then an email confirmation is mailed to the email address that requested the sign up. The subscriber clicks a link and is added to the Sundance database.

Dr. Marilyn Welles asked to be removed. She didn’t use any of the methods provided. She instead replied to the email message that says on it “Don’t reply to this address as its unmonitored” in bold red type on every newsletter. She decided to reply to our newsletter. She used a few slurs and rude comments to get her message across. I stumbled a crossed and emailed her about removing her email. No problem I would be happy to. She sent me the wrong email address. She then proceeded to email me more nasty messages. (I wish I had kept them as she is a peach.) Eventually I get her removed.

Today I got an email from my web host informing me of Welles third complaint. It of course had anger in the message. (read an excerpt below) I have since discovered that she has signed up for the email newsletter again. Is it just me or is she not that bright and she bought her PHD from Sally Strothers during a sleepless late night binge.

Marilyn Welles wrote to the Sundance Resort Web hosting Company :

“I have been through this with these people before, and had been ASSURED that m.t.welles@ieee.org had been removed from their email lists. They are flamingly incompetent, and their email included REMOVE instructions that do not work. THROW THE BOOK AT THEM!!!”

I wrote:

Dear Marilyn Welles,

Because we are "flamingly incompetent"
We have disabled email to and from all ieee.org servers.
Replying emails from ieee.org to this email address will be bounced.

Sincerely
Sundance IT Staff

Eran,

Typical Utah. ieee.org has THOUSANDS of subscribers, and now ALL are
lost to you because you were unable to unsubscribe a single ieee.org user!

As I said, 'Flamingly ..." and totally oblivious to the world outside Utah.

Marilyn Welles

P.S. And we shall see. You have told me before that I was
'unsubscribed', and then back came your endless downloads! A 'Utah promise.'

Democracy begins at home

We looked at our email list and we had only one email address from the ieee.org it was hers. We decided to ban her. This is the third time she has reported us as spammers. The other times her emails were more colorful with slurs, naming calling and obviously a hate for Utah.

My final response:

Marilyn,

I love the name calling; it is a sure sign of being a civilized adult.
You were only person to use an ieee.org email address.

How do you equate this all with the state of Utah? Did you get deported and thus your hatred of Utah? Not being a native Utahan making fun of Utah doesn't really bother me. The world is full of idiots not just Utah. I respond to emails from them all the time.

Thanks
Eran

At any rate I decided to Google Bomb her name with flamingly incompetent.
