In advertising, I have heard it said that the messages you remember most often and the longest are the ones you really love, and the ones you really hate.

If his message bothers you too much, he will have succeeded. Laugh it off and let Chris & Doug decide what to do with his message and his membership.

It is an obvious commercial ploy, and unless we hear otherwise, the ploy was not pre-approved. He probably read about how busy Doug & Chris are these days and took advantage of the situation.

And this too shall pass.
