I have NEVER needed an affiliate "rep" or whatever to contact me. Any problem, I make the contact, I INITIATE the fix. I can fill out my payment info without typos  LOL and when I move, *drum roll* I update address... not all of us are that dumb.
The examples you use are user related ignorant person errors, not someone who updates their contact and especially payment info
Forgive me, but I have never needed affiliate reps emailing me updates or "we just iuploaded 400 galleries" lol , and never will. Not trying to be rude, but really, some of my best sponsors ive never even been contacted by a rep, never needed one.

And I was simply addressing your point. It also wasn't an 'affiliate' post I needed to make but born out of one bounced email too many today ;)
Congrats on being the perfect affiliate that never needs any attention. You will understand that not everybody is at such an impeccable standard and may have just thought 'hey, yeah..I need to update my info'
I was speaking as much as 'your sponsor needs up to date information' than as a rep wanting to drum up more sales. Though, I won't deny contacting affiliates for that too sometimes but always targeted. It is after all, part of the job. It honestly is more about just being able to contact somebody when you need to do so for a real reason.
Oh and..while we don't do it - I get affiliates actually coming to me asking why we *don't* send out gallery links every time we update. Some people want that in their box and without a current email they aren't going to get it for the sponsors that do it. Again, we don't.
Anyway..sparring aside..is it strange that I thought of you and your lovely wife when I was making my vegan evening meal today? I have been trying to eat vegan all week to see if I can. I usually am mostly veggie anyway these days and am lactose intolerant so it isn't really that hard for me.
