Stop with the e-mails, all ready!
- Page 1 of 1
At first it was annoying. Then it became incessant. Now? It's reached Simpson spam insanity. The e-mails have got to stop. Or at least let up.
Every day, Simpson students are bombarded with opportunities to get involved: at the bookstore, in the chapel or as a part of Greek life. While the e-mails are a great reminder for those who are looking to get more involved (read: freshmen) is it possible that older students at Simpson are already aware of what activities they do and don't have time for?
As for the "lost and found" e-mails, who wants to sort through multiple "e-pleas" for returned key chains or notebooks in their inbox for an e-mail of personal relevance? While we understand the trauma of losing a jump drive, your best bet it to retrace your steps and clean your dorm room, not send out a query to the entire campus.
As for the raging onslaught of activity e-mails, how about a forum that lets students select which e-mails they do and don't receive? Either way, it's time to stop the mass hysteria.

Wow, no offense, but it's an email...grow up. It takes you very little time to click DELETE if you don't want to view it. It's ridiculous to complain about something so minimal. (Continued…)

This is a pretty lame Our View. Who gives a damn?! What happened to those hard-hitting stories in this paper? It's starting to sound like a tabloid or PR piece for groups like fraternities/sororities and RLC. (Continued…)

Do people not read the whole article before throwing in their two cents?
Read the last paragraph; there's your proposed solution.
