What is with the awful guerrilla marketing from BP?

[Ed O.]

I've been a pro member for 3? maybe 4 years.... 

Recently, I've received an onslaught of BP solicitations. 

The first one, was a message from Mindy Jensen. Not knowing this person, I checked it. It was a sad, shameless pitch, trying to sell me 8 real estate  forms for people my state. I found this awful attempt at guerrilla marketing disgusting, but simply deleted the email. 

A day or two later, I get another message, asking if I have "left for good." Again from Mindy - you know, the same person trying to sell me a newb kit of forms for $200. I ignored it. 

Then a day or two later, another annoying message, titled, "the break up." 

Really BP - why? Are you that hard up for revenue that you need to send private messages, to get people to look at an advertisement for forms you're selling that I haven't needed in decades? Heck, I think I have even given forms like this to the community - and now, you're trying to sell them to me? I wonder if you're trying to sell me the forms I gave to the community? 

Did the BP ownership change? This disappointing approach seems like something which wouldn't happen under Josh's watch.

I have nothing against anyone wishing to generate income. However, to do it like this is pretty sad and certainly not in the high standard in which I've known BP.

 8 forms written/edited by actual attorneys for $99...they didn’t have that when I was your age. Back in my day we paid $350 for 1 form as we walked to school barefooted, in the snow, uphill both ways!  

Thanks for putting this together @Mindy Jensen!
