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.
