Your term 'Beg-Mail' is very appropriate and hits the spot. I was once on one of these send out mailers and crap by SWBTATTReg Apr 2 #48

Hell YES!!!! You, too? Grins Mar 31 #39

I believe the culprit in this case is Act Blue. Sogo Mar 31 #41

Hmm, interesting. I never heard that it was ActBlue but I imagine various groups buy lists LymphocyteLover Mar 31 #42

This is all absurdity blubunyip Mar 31 #44
