Ford sells personal information. What a surprise.

Today, I get junk mail from yet another credit card company, hardly something new. Before shredding, I noticed the addressee, which was a very unique name I used when I requested a Mustang brochure online a couple of years ago.

Ford: Shame on you for selling our private information. You don't make enough cash selling cars or something? You now join the ranks of others who would sell their mothers on street corners for a buck.

As Tungsten would say: 'Feh!'

They all do.

Back when I was still using cable internet, I created a very ODD user account one day. Odd series of letters and numbers. 47 minutes after creating that user name I had 13 spam mail pieces in the inbox.

I was soooooooo mad. I called and bitched out COX internet for a long time.

I still take those pre-paid return envelopes and cram them full (to the point of nearly bursting) with crap from my paper shredder's catch basin and send it back to them. LOL

I used to mail back franked, junk-mail envelopes full of dog crap. It was a tasteless, time wasting effort, but it made me feel a little better. Catbox scoopings work well too --just be careful where you lick to seal it up.

Oh, please...

I read Direct Marketing News. Some time ago, I was "surprised" to see that AOL was touting their then-12,000,000 member list for sale. "Surprised", and a bit annoyed, since I was an AOLer now.

Today, AOL is hard at work on anti-spam filters, claiming that the number of spam e-mails coming through AOL's servers is approaching the billion mark.

What goes around comes around, but AOL has no right to complain about a situation they helped to create.
