Default RE: "Free" DVD from the AMA

Send it back with a dirty diaper and tell them you don't want their crap.

I got ringed into one of those deals through Tower Hobbies (Planes of the World CD they sent with my order), took me forever to cut the umbillical cord from them and cost a couple Ben Franklins for a set I could have gotten at Barns and Noble for half the cost. Direct mail marketing is a dangerous thing, once they get your name and you participate, you will be solicited for everything from glow plugs to girdles.

Remeber this, the company that is selling the CD are not Airplane specific. They are Direct Market sellers that handle everything from diet pills to food processors, and everything related to special interest groups. Again, once you respond, you legally are allowing them to sell anything to you, including calling you at all hours to solicit you.

And they work through Non-profit organizations and schools. If AMA thinks they can bombard me with solicitaition from Direct Mail marketers, then I guess they better sniff their packages before opening them. [>:]
