> The only one who has given any figures of unsolicited applications in the debate so far was Mike Polk who has to face 'sometimes 2 or 3 a day' I opened my e-mail this morning to 38 messages from HISTARCH some of interest, some not. A quick glance at them soon told me if I wasn't interested so close them and move on. Which brings us back to the original point of the thread. Is e-mail an acceptable way to solicit work within the profession today? I still believe it to be way to go, if it is not appreciated by the recipient it is still less intrusive than any other means. Of no interest? Close it and move on or hit reply and say No Thanks
