If you are a business or someone looking for help, you either have an open
door policy or you asked for someone to help you out.
Asking them to knock first is just rude and, in the case of businesses,
standing in the way of doing business, since your clients can not easily
get a hold of you.
Actually the situation is the reverse of the stranger at the door situation.
THEY are the stranger to whom I am replying. I've not hit a corporation
stupid enough to turn me away with a C/R.
All the C/R's I have experienced are from ME answering THEIR email. That
in NO WAY matches the stranger at the door. HE is the stranger at the door
not me. Most of the C/Rs have been to messages on mailing lists. That is
as utterly unfriendly as you can get. And, again, HE is the stranger at the
door
I was trying to help.
That level of rudeness does not set well with me. Call me a crotchety old
bitch if you want. But I will continue to reject C/R, often with extreme
prejudice,
into the foreseeable future.
