Yeah, I got it as well. I guess that makes us "special" because they said  
they only sent it to "special" people. 
 
As luck would ave it I'd heard what the deal was so I never even opened  
mine. The propaganda that came with it mentioned Dave Brown's name. I've  been 
contemplating returning it to Dave. If he gets enough of them maybe he will  
think twice about selling our names to marketers.
 
Like Jim, I'm not terribly upset by the deal. But I'm also not too inclined  
to worry about them getting their merchandise back.
 
Old Flyin Buddy Red Scholefield used to have a good tactic for this kind of  
stuff. He'd shuffle all the documentation that came with the first "free" book 
 of the encyclopedia set into the prepaid return envelope and drop it in the  
mailbox. Don't sign anything or check any boxes. When the new books come put  
them on the shelf and use them. When the bills come throw them away - for a  
while. When the bills continue to come and start to get threatening, send a  
reply. The reply should state that the merchandise was never requested, and 
will  not be paid for. The merchandise can be returned to the vendor for $$ 
storage,  $$ handling, and $$ shipping. Usually they go away. Works great. An 
endless  supply of great graduation gifts for that favorite nephew.
