	Lovely.
: Forget about advertising on a web site that nobody reads.
	I wonder why.. 

: But how do you reach HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of people on the 
: internet with your advertisement?
	Spamming Usenet?

: Info.now has the clear, proven answer.
: MASS E-MAILS
: Sending mass e-mail is one of the most effective, profitable forms 
: of advertising.  Why?
: RESULTS.
: Up to an 5% response rate.

	Well.. after 5% of 900k people e-mail you the complete Linux 
distribution your e-mail box will be full and the rest of the messages 
would have been lost.. expect higher result rates.  Don't be discouraged 
by negative results!  Getting large binaries in your e-mail is a *good* 
thing. 

: But why is it so effective?  

	Because 5% of the Internet is made up of complete idiots?  

: Because the advertisement waits in the recipient�s mailbox until it 
: is read and discarded.  

	Yea, I jump to read those ads in my mailbox... ever hear of a 
subject line? 

: There are no wasted messages.  Your advertisement WILL be read.
: This is the beauty of bulk e-mail advertising.  It�s 
: cost-effective, it�s fast,
: and it provides results.

	You need a serious boot to the head.

: If you have any questions, please call our offices at 516.458.8893 
: or 516.739.8387.
: You can also contact us at Info-Now@worldnet.att.net. 

	Please tell me this whole thing is just a joke... it has to be.. 
no one could be this stupid.  Do you guys have a fax machine number?  
I've got this neat program I want to try out.

: *As with ANY advertisement, response rates will vary.  Info.now 
: does not make any guarantees on response rates.

	Or any guarantees on the legality of the mass e-mail spamming.  
Ever wonder why you're not supposed to randomly mass spam someone's fax 
machine with stupid ads without their consent?
