Brilliant or Bizarre?

I don’t know whether this is a good idea or not. I received an email asking if I want to subscribe to various email newsletters. Here’s what I’m supposed to do:

Please reply to this message, marking your choice with an X

  • ‘I want to receive Noldus News, your printed newsletter’
  • ‘I want to receive Noldus Newsline, your digital newsletter’
  • ‘I want to receive both Noldus News & Noldus Newsline’

My initial reaction was, “Mark it where?” I realize it probably doesn’t matter, but I can imagine how I’d parse the reply.

Using a paper analogy doesn’t always work, but maybe it would in this case. However, It still “feels” weird.

A more substantive entry should come soon, but it’s been a hell of a week. Have a good weekend.
