CBSSports thought that they were and initiated a major list cleaning, by asking their subscribers how much email they wanted to receive.
In April, CBSSports began re-opting subscribers who had been inactive for six to nine months. The process was finished in August. Each inactive subscriber received two messages: a notice and a final reminder.
This is an example of a company seeing the value of email and at the same time realizing the potentially overwhelming volume that they might send to their subscribers.
