LADY JANE,

I receive adult e-mail soliciting my credit card to
sign up almost daily and sometimes twice and three
times a day. I have, through time, learned a lot of
the introductions to such mailings so I don't open
them. I actually prefer the real thing to pictures
and the like. To each their own. I am not knocking
your product.

However, I do dislike the method of advertising it. I
do not solicit these ads in any way that I know of as
I work through the day. I am one of those that
actually works when I am on the computer and your ads
take time from my work. I am the only one that loses.
How do you get my address? I REALLY, REALLY WANT TO
KNOW!

If I were to be able to vote on the matter today I
would vote for specific requests coming to the adult
site distributor before any information was sent out.

My son is 12 years old and very responsible in choosing
what he views on the net and through his e-mail. Yet,
you seem to get through and fool him once in a while.
It DOES embarrass him and he resents having seen any of
the pictures. A picture with a little dot on it
doesn't leave much for imagination.

Consider these facts and if you feel that he is just a
kid and he'll have fun with it, etc., please consider
the creative minds of children and leave them alone.
OH! You can't do that! You SPAM!
