When you send in your cancellation notice, write something like this on it too: "All of my contractual obligations with your company have been met. Please cancel my membership. Any further items I receive from your company will be considered unsolicited gifts." I used to join all the clubs ONLY when they offered 8 disks for the price of 1 (actually for the price of 2 when you figure in "shipping and handling"). Then, as soon as I bought my required CD and had received the additional free ones, I cancelled my membership. Within, 2-3 months the companies would start sending out letters saying they were sorry that I cancelled, and that they would like me to become a member again. When an 8 for the price of 1 deal came up again I would re-join. -- Steve Linke Salk Institute (Gene Expression Lab) La Jolla, CA Internet: slinke@sdcc3.ucsd.edu
