People Aren’t Too Bright

I’ve been dealing with some folks to get an ad for our company here into a local golf guide. Part of the gig was that I was to send them some marketing material, and they would write radio ad copy to use in their campaign. I had sent all the marketing gibberish a couple days ago, but I get an e-mail from my sales rep for the ad, asking me to send her the promotional bullet points again, because she didn’t have it.

The thing was, though, she was replying to my original message from two days ago, and she had the entire copy of my marketing gibberish in her e-mail to me — so she obviously already had the material she was looking.

I resent it to her anyway, as I could see there was no way to win this battle so there was no sense in starting one.
