This is something that's bothered me for a long time...the metrics on email-blast performance are REALLY messed up, to the point of being totally useless. Topspin only shows TOTAL (aggregate) Opens & Clicks, so if one fan opens the email 5 times & clicks a link 10 times, all of those actions are counted toward the total. This leads to "percentages" of over 100%, which is meaningless. The bad data Topspin provides makes it impossible to evaluate the real effectiveness of an email campaign, and therefore impossible to test & improve my email-marketing strategies. I feel stuck.
I would recommend several improvements to the email metrics:

Thanks, as always, for the detailed feedback. We'll be launching some email improvements in the next couple of weeks.
Looks like no real movement on this at all, in almost a year! The bounce removal button seems like a no-brainer.
We've been focusing the majority of the dev cycles on the new GoDirect product, which is now in beta. No email capabilities right this minute, but there are coming very soon.
As far as bounces go, bounces are removed automatically.
