Come on, it is not her fault she is web/computer illiterate.  Her email is well typed, spelled, cohesive, and polite.  I'd respond and find out what she is referring to.

I wouldn't blame you for ignoring her, but you did ask our opinion.   I am sure most people don't realize that you are running a business, and that this is not a 'hobby'.

And really my main point was to bring out the difference between her email versus some of the other moronic (being generous) comments / emails that you receive.

But maybe someone should volunteer to be Dan's personal secretary...
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

+1  Let's look at this a different way.  She's heard about DD or likes what she sees and wants to get emails. Only at the waaaaaaaay bottom of the DD home page is there a whole bunch of words (WITHOUT a title) that need to be read that says what to do for emails. Assuming she did not see that, is it not LOGICAL to email dan@dansdeals.com which is right there, top, up front, staring you in the face?             

I propose that if someone were to search for patterns in the categories of Dan's unwanted emails we  could eliminate many future ones by making fixes.  For example, a big button up near the top right where Dan's email address is that says something like 'CLICK HERE TO GET EMAILS'.

I think it's all pretty simply and clearly put in the right side of the home page - Twitter, Forums, Facebook, Email signup, Dans email (which will not answer any personal emails)

"Hi Dan,

A few of my friends in the points and miles world recently spoke very highly of you. (MileNerd Paul Walia and his friends)

I figured I should reach out and introduce myself. I'm  <redacted>, a senior member of the Business Development team at <redacted>.com.

We have a huge inventory of McDonald's on hand at the moment, and would love it if you could post something about us and McDonald's on your blog.

Please let me know if there is any way you can help. Feel free to call or email me anytime.

Shana Tova,

<redacted>

"HI DansDeals!

I don't really understand why items that chose at 1:59p (Macy' pop up) are sent to us at 5:18p?  Why do I not get this earlier in the day?"
