I'm happy that BU didn't send me an alert. I want to be notified when there's an actual emergency, not when there's a car accident. Regarding the bomb scare mentioned, everything was brought under control by the police -- another incident that I didn't need to know about until it hit the papers. If there's an active threat to my life, then I want to know. Otherwise, I get enough spam, junk mail, unsolicited phone calls and flyers on my windshield that I appreciate BU in using discretion in contacting me and encourage them to continue this practice. BU isn't a news agency -- I can (and do) turn on the TV or radio in the morning. All the information I needed was there. Everyone seems to be a bit on edge...
