What CREEPS! They also sent the same unsolicited message to me, here in Italy, including such ROFL sentences as "we speak your language" (they DON'T! speak Italian actually, just marketspeak!) AND advertising opening times designed such that taking timezones into account they would NEVER coincide with Italian office hours, AND as main contact points *800*-numbers (which CANNOT be called from Italy...!). Just to underscore that they just sent it to "everybody" without even the common courtesy of checking AT ALL for the appropriateness of the message for the adresseee... CREEPS, as I said. -- Email: martelli@cadlab.sublink.org Phone: ++39 (51) 6130360 CAD.LAB s.p.a., v. Ronzani 7/29, Casalecchio, Italia Fax: ++39 (51) 6130294
