		<description>@Matt - thanks for the positive feedback. I feel like *all* topics in email marketing are hot topics, right?

@Linda - John Deere was one of the better ones! (but I appreciate your humor, as always).

@Chad - I&#039;d love to see some of their welcome messages from 2005. I see a &quot;fun&quot; blog post brewing on refreshing content every...uh...3 years (at least?)

@Kelly - Good question re Newegg.com. Since their welcome message I&#039;ve received the following emails (opened zero):

*April 24 (3 days after sign up and welcome message)
*May 1, 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22, 28, 30
*June 3, 5, 10, 12, 17, 18, 24

There does not seem to be any pattern. Interesting that I&#039;ve now received 18 emails from Newegg (including Welcome Message) and have only opened the first one. Food for thought.

To all: Kimberly and I just filmed the July and August segments. I know that I&#039;m biased, but I think you&#039;ll enjoy - both content, banter, and &quot;humor.&quot;

		<description>Great video post, agree with you on the point of NewEgg needing to shorten their From name to just the brand.  

Have you received additional communications since then?  I have not and wondered whether Id be bombarded with all sorts of weekly deals but guess next steps or communications would/should be telling me to set up my account preferences ...</description>

		<description>Coach has been using that exact same welcome for three years now. Sad. :(

I bet it still has the 2005 copyright notice at the bottom of it, which means they haven&#039;t even looked at it since then.</description>
