Ditto.  I'm a long time O'Reilly customer, and I don't need to be
reminded when there's a new C# book released, that the registration
deadline is about to pass for some O'Reilly conference no one I know
will be attending, or when some new title is added to Safari.

If here messages were less frequent and more targeted, I might read them
more often.  As it stands, I check the O'Reilly homepage and the new
books page every 6-8 weeks or so for the kind of news Marsee is sending
out.
