Newsletter nonsense

Last week, I met a woman who is the CEO of a non-profit focused on water conservation. She mentioned to me that she was eager to connect with a certain company that funds water projects and I responded that I personally know the fellow in charge of that company's foundation and that I'd be happy to pass along information on her behalf.

I didn't hear from her for several days, so I assumed she was either busy or uninterested. But today, I found that she had added me to her organization's e-mail newsletter distribution list!

There is no way I'm going to connect her with a potential funder if she doesn't have the decency to send me a personal follow-up note. And I sure as hell am going to unsubscribe from her newsletter.
