Even The Beeb Make Mistakes - So Allow Us To Too

I know there's some malicious sites out there that don't really care about the industry and as long as they're getting their wonga they think they can do anything they like - not naming names!!
But when you see the complete lack of Quality Control from the BBC when they put up a picture of the talented Utd player JS Park instead of Dong Fangzhou you really have to wonder what chance there is for us affiliates keeping everything ship-shape and Bristol fashion?
We all get millions of emails, Instant messages, forum posts, phone calls every day about programmes that most of us don't know whether we're coming or going!
I'm going through and cancelling my association or turning off notifications from merchants that I don't intend to do anything with in the near future or I just get too much crap from.
But are there any other affiliates that are struggling to cope with the continual changes and demands from merchants, agencies or networks?

Too many emails, too many changes, too many everything...
Anyway, did you see the other blunder made by the BBC? If it were true, then people in south would have melted into small pools of bubbling mess;

I don't mind dealing with things if they're important but one network is just rubbing me up the wrong way lately - and it's one who we do very little with.
It's like I have nowt better to do than sit and wait for Network X to email me with things that need "my immediate attention"... if I earnt anything with them believe me I'd be a lot attentive!
I just don't need hassle like "such a such company is now called XYZ can you change the content you wrote 4 months ago to reflect this"...!
Agree with you Jason, most of my sites' content is dated (as in it has a date, not it's out of date!) and everything is as correct at time of publication as I can manage.
I get really narked when I'm asked to go back and update old blog posts because things have changed since I wrote them.
It's not 1984 any more!
