So if you want to get back at them, he says, take a "Business Reply Envelope",tape it to a brick, and drop it in the mailbox. It will be happily delivered and unhappily paid for. It MIGHT be that, if you include your name and address on it, they will take you off their list to avoid having this happen twice. Or, then again, they might just add you to the list twice. Ken Arnold
