Such a waste.<br /><br />Junk mailers are the early spammers. We own our server and spammers are an actual, real problem. They really do jam up the works. But whether it be snail mail or email, some people simply just don't get it.<br /><br />Or, perhaps they get just enough response to make it worthwhile.Undercover Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665520353750292526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36200388.post-33887359024111455972007-01-26T15:05:00.000-05:002007-01-26T15:05:00.000-05:00dj: Ahh, you didn't really bug me - or offend me. ...dj: Ahh, you didn't really bug me - or offend me.
