AIS Media Inc. CEO, Thomas Harpointner, was interviewed by Rocky Mountain News to discuss the latest e-mail annoyance in consumers’ inboxes…bacn, and how consumers can best manage this new form of e-mail. His statements included:
"They can receive bacn but consume the bacn when they please," said Tom Harpointner, chief executive of Atlanta-based AIS Media, which specializes in e-mail marketing software and services.

Harpointner said that's preferable to trying to block bacn with spam filters and risk missing possibly important e-mails. "Unfortunately, valid e-mails can get caught in filters. The single most important e-mail might be caught in between four, five pieces of bacn."

• Create a second e-mail account just for bacn, and check it whenever you want.
• Unsubscribe to as many e-mail notifications as you can to reduce the clutter. Remember when you subscribed to the alerts or notifications in the first place? Maybe you checked categories that aren't important to you anymore, proved to be useless or are more than you bargained for.
