Anyone else get this email or similar?
It was addressed to me as Major Agnello, and it came from a Desmarais, so I was wondering if this was a CAP-related-yet-not-related thing.
QuoteDear Major Agnello,
We are conducting a research study for a major provider of web hosting and online applications among small organizations and individuals who have recently acquired online applications like spreadsheets, calendars, collaborations and/or built web sites.
We would like to discuss the following areas with you:
•Which online applications are you currently using
•How you make decisions regarding web related applications and services
•Your company's longer term plans for web related applications and services.
In appreciation for your time This is strictly a research study, and we will mail you a $50.00 check, if you qualify and complete this survey which should take between 10 and 20 minutes of your time.
This is not a sales call and you will not be contacted for any sales purposes as a result of this call.
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing and speaking with you.
Regards,
Jean

I would certainly hope so. I'd hate to think that NHQ is trying to make a buck by selling member data, I don't think that and I don't want to think that, so they better not.

I would suggest that, if it didn't have a Hqs CAP return address, that it is not official and should be ignored. There is a Desmaris on the National Staff, but I seem to recall that his name is John.
Would seem to me that to ignore is better than getting sucked into something that you might regret.
