They are taking a risk. You do not have to return unsolicited mail. They cannot obligate you in any way. If they say to return and say NO instead of send in a YES, and they continue to send you material, you can keep or discard whatever they send you. It all depends on whether there is some

I received the set and watched the DVD. I intend to keep the DVD, but I don't yet know if I'll participate in the program. The DVD was fairly well produced, but filming of aircraft in flight was a bit shaky; perhaps the videographer should have used a tripod-mounted camera. Also, background
