Hey Shimone/Justes, there are probably very very very few people that are subscribed to all of those lists. I'm amazed you have the time to be on so many. Are you criticizing Pietro for being too effective about spreading the word on new releases and music news? I imagine most artists and labels love that someone is out spreading the news to so many lists. Perhaps you should find some way to filter your email so that you don't get that many duplicates. You could organize your email by sender instead of date or subject and delete all of his extra messages at once or block him if you don't find his emails useful. I can't really see criticizing someone for being "too efficient" at dispersing music info. --- Shimone/Justes <intelligence@staticbeats.com> wrote:
