How to prevent myself from spamming?

Question

I know I can send a mail to 1 person if i have a query. But mass mailing everyone on any forum is spamming and now allowed.. But what if you have an urgent inquiry and u need immediate feedback? Even then we cant send mails to users??....

My 4th portion of the project is due on monday and i need to find users for that to fill up a questionnaire which is just gonna take 2-3 minuts...How do i get the users to respond to this on some discussion forums?? i really need help...

Answer 1

sending a urgent inquiry via a yahoo group is mass enough on it's own without mailing to them each individually and even if you mailed each member, it doesn't mean they'll give you immediate feedback or fill out your questionnaire, they may however fill out the Yahoo abuse form.

I wouldn't rely on the web for completing projects in a timely manner.
