The drains have backed up again

Free nutrition!

Ticket prices for NUTRI-2022.* But, as an invited speaker, I have the privilege to register for FREE!!!

Kathy Miller's soliciting me. At least I think she is. Unless the omission of a comma is intentional, in which case she's inviting me to solicit myself. And that makes even less sense than the rest of her missive.

Obviously desperate for virtual bums on virtual seats in less than two weeks' time, she's offering free registration for my fantastic speaking abilities. Clearly, she hasn't heard me speak.

But I'm curious as to what the schtick is here. Free registration, for a virtual conference‽ Since these buggers are only in it for the money, what's in this for them? Other than the satisfaction of exploring a holistic perspective on nutrition's frontier novelties; whateverthehell that's supposed to mean.

There is, however, one common factor running through these missives from 150 South Wacker Drive #2400—other than the lies and deceit; the gibberish; the scientific bankruptcy; and the changing mail headers to circumvent sender block rules. And that's the disclaimer.

It's only just occurred to me that it's not a disclaimer as such, it's simply an option to opt-out/unsubscribe. But perhaps that is the disclaimer, in a skeevy fashion. I never opted-in or subscribed in the first place, so how can I logically unsubscribe per se? Hence, disclaimer!

Or perhaps I'm just reading more into Magnus Conferences' low-intellect bollocks than is really justified. (thinking)

* The email link to the conference website is a registration page at USA Conferences. But that page gives the contact email address as nutrition-research@magnusconference.com [sic], and links to another site at Magnus Conferences. All of which suggests some convoluted, possibly shady, connection between the two domains, when it would be easier to just be open and honest.

Go figure. (shrug)
