Exactly 100% right.
And if you're a professional business man you will welcome those emails. If you're a kid playing at this you will not.
Professional Businessman
Gets emails sent to him about things they need to buy, looks at them considers them and decides to go take another look. It saves him time going around in the hope of finding what he needs, hoping it's new and not 2 years old. He also gets all the specail offers sent to him before they get spread accross the boards.

Like to waste hours of time going to content site after content site playing a guessing game.
We recently opened our stores to anyone just showing the catalogue, with all the content and thumbs. We got an increase in sales of exactly 0000%, even those who said they would buy did not.
Seems the professionals buy and the rest just post on GFY. Where the sign up takes twice as long and the benefit is you can post about shit which will do little to help your business.
The store is still open because I'm going to be putting in paysite banners to re-direct the 1,000+ a day surfers we get.
