Sometimes my replies get ignored, and other times the person takes my suggestions to heart and it actually leads to dialogue (and I can only a hope in improvement in their outreach efforts.)

Not sure that's something I'm proud of, but it does point out the spammy efforts by otherwise reputable organizations should no longer be tolerated.
