See what happens when you get a "celeb" involved with your promotional activities!!

OK - so who do we get to promote the UBT?

Jordan? - or is that going too far?
Natsaha Kaplinsky? - she seems to be on everything else!
Carol Voderman? - ditto

Sian Lloyd? (keeps the Welsh happy)
Charlotte Church? (keeps the Welsh even happier)

Anne Widdecombe? (speechless - I can't think of anything good to say!)
Jeremy Beadle? - dito


Am sure thre are others.

regards,

Tim

Well I know have the best reason yet as to not donate, they have sent a e-mail to all the people who have donated to say thanks etc etc.

However when sending it they sent the e-mail so that all the e-mail addresses would show up of all the donors.

They have apologised for it but I don't trust them not to do it again

Hi David,

Yup - I got one of them. To think when I "cocked" up, I only (accidentally) cc'd to about 400+ members of UBT.

How much do you reckon I can get for the 2,979 email addresses I now have of SETI donation makers......!

Hmmmmmm..... so much for their privacy policy......!

regards,

Tim

Ah - Think I must have ticked the 'don't send emails' as I got a nice, REAL letter from the University. :)

Yup - me too - got a letter and a "University of California" "tent card" plus a receipt.

All very tickety-boo.

Wonder how much it cost to process and then post.......although that has been mentioned before and they haven't taken up the suggestion of other SETI members to include a tick box if you DON'T need a posted receipt.

It would save them money if people didn't want these sent out - but then the admins at the University would have nothing to do....to justify their salaries!

regards,

Tim
