Useless

[wellinghall]

The magazine "The Actuary" has started an e-mail alert service; you tell it what sort of article, job ad etc you are interested in, and it sends you an alert if there's anything in each month's issue that meets your criteria. And what does the alert say? "This month's issue contains articles and / or job adverts that may be of interest to you."

And that's all. No titles, no trailers, no page numbers, no weblinks, no nothing. How utterly useless!

Slightly less useless than a message that said "This month's issue *might* contain articles/job adverts of interest to you.

Yeah, pretty useless though. No point griping in here though (except to raise a chuckle)...you have to TELL THEM.

Yes, sounds like a a critical but rational email might actually do some good towards their service becoming workable.
