- I don't know about the rest of you but when I fill out those 'qualifying'
- subscriptions I lie through my teeth. Don't we all by Cray's by the roomfull
- on a weekly basis?
-
- A few years ago I was trying to drop a subscription and ignored the re-
- subscribe stuff (this for a DEC rag of some sort). Some sales slime called
- me and kept trying to get me to subscribe. I told him I threw them in the
- trash still in their plastic mailing bags and he said that was fine, as long
- as I subscribed! Ya gotta wonder.
