Let's face it - you know your name and info will be sold. Same with
Cox and APS.

However - a $65 60 GIG HD with a $30 rebate - and others - yeah I'll
take it - I'll fill out the forms - they have my name and credit card
info already. Name, rebate form and UPC seal to my PO box .

I already get tons of junk e-mail - 95% of what I get I delete - right
now I'd probably have a credit limit of $250,000 if I responded to all
the "credit" card offers - and spend $500,000 on their "secured" cards
- I'll use my Compass Bank card - damn - how much credit do I need?

Of course what business are you in? If you can suppply me with the
same prices I'll do business with you.

I know there is a catch - but then I'll take the rebate and delete the
junk e-mails.

Hey - we're in a depression - every dollar counts.
