It would be so much nicer if all merchants were this way! The worst expierence I have had (and have every year) is the christmas ads I get out of nowhere in August. I do not want their material. I tryed writing to all of them to get off their mailing list with little success. Being the inflamable person I am, I decided to find out who was providing my name to be put on the mailing list. I called one company, and found out to my horror that my name was picked up off a list sold to the company by the State of Illinois. Appearently, the Sec. of State here sells the lists of auto owners and drivers liscences to get some extra money for the state ( thate sent me into high speed flame). With one letter to the Sec. of State, I got off these lists. Not afraid to not trust any one With my name, address and vital stats.
