Chris,
I agree. Gina’s blanket vomit of so many PR names was like the mean teacher in middle school who screams ‘detention’ instead of teaching kids how to behave. Very old school and shows she and the author of the wiki are best at knee-jerk anger, instead of cooperative involvement. I understand being pissed, I understand venting, but a wholesale list of the local pr industry is bitchy and destructive. I’d have preferred a blog with ALL CAPS…

Hey Allen:

Thanks for your comment.

I took a look at your post, and the ideas expressed aren’t too different from the general sentiment expressed by other bloggers. I know it’s frustrating; while nowhere near the volume you receive, even the small number of bad pitches I receive a week is irritating. Thanks for taking the time to build that list of hints instead of reacting in a negative manner. Hopefully people listen to your advice!
