The good news is the SANS Technology Institute has been selected as a finalist by SC Magazine. The bad news is that I get two, (or more), emails a day from Showmark to buy a plaque. This has been going on for days. The crazy thing is that I did respond to Steve Wilson and asked about buying the rights to the art, (we have no need for a physical plaque), and never got a response.
I do not normally use unsubscribe because it validates the email, but I guess I have no choice. This is what the email looks like.

They didn't send me anywhere near that many.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one every few days.
Guess you won more awards than I did!
But, over time the email price started coming down. So I wrote in said cut to the chase, what's the bottom price. More like $130. Still not cheap, but I like having it up on the wall.
And, it looks pretty good. Close enough to worth it, imho.
Not sure what you mean by "validate the email." I mean, they're gonna keep sending you until you unsub, so how much more "valid" are they waiting for it to get?
