- (Ooooh, sounds like a flame!) I'm not bitching about WriteNow. I'm
- complaining about misleading packaging on junk mail. Most of my junk
- mail I can simply throw away without opening. But WriteNow's letter
- didn't say T/Maker anywhere on the envelope and had the misleading
- "Subscription expiration" printed on the envelope instead. Nowhere
- inside does it explain what "subscription" they're talking about.
-
- Do you enjoy reading junk mail? Do you think that advertisers
- should put misleading slogans on their envelopes like "nude
- pictures enclosed", without actually enclosing nude pictures? :-)
