I have to agree, and I have mixed emotions.

1) I'm glad I'm not receiving a bunch of additional mailings from ARMA, 
especially since I'm already registered and they KNOW I'm coming. In the 
past, they had a 3rd party doing these mailings for them and they apparently 
weren't communicating when someone had registered, because for New Orleans, 
I received 11 copies of the Conference brochure. For Boston, only 10....for 
Long Beach, only 7 =) 

2) I'm betwixt and between about not receiving as many vendor mailings, 
because it gave me advance notice about product offerings that would be 
there and I could partially plan my show floor visit, but it also meant that 
ARMA was telling these vendors I was coming, and from a privacy perspective, 
that shouldn't have been happening
So... even with it being the 50th, I'm not displeased about the lack of 
mailbox fodder
