Today’s quote of the day comes from Deborah Krier in a comment on a MediaPost blog post:
….It‘s not a matter of me not having “the time to bother with figuring out how to give you permission.” It’s about you being too lazy to implement the best practices to capture my permission at the moment that I first transact with your company/brand, then trying to make up for that laziness with a quick email append after the fact.1
Excellent point, Deborah!
