It's bad enough using the list to send out junk mail not within the topic
of the discussion list. What's worse is labeling it "Highest Priority."

I think you lose more potential customers by your blatant disregard for
network etiquette. (your mail was discarded unread).

>Catalogue Format Options:

>1. 19-Part email- can be read by EVERYONE (~525 K Total).

>2. For more advanced computer users: attached text file ~525K - you

>3. For more advanced Macintosh computer users: compressed attached

> text file, created with a Stuffit(tm) self-extracting archive (.sea),

> ~133K. Can be decompressed by any Macintosh computer user; no

> special expansion software or knowledge of Stuffit (tm) needed. You

> just double-click on the file icon and it automatically expands

> (unstuffs). This is for more advanced mac computer users only, as

> you still have to know how to deal with an attached file. It will cut

> your download time by 75%. Expands out to the same ~525K file in

> option #2. See option #2 for more info on what you will need to be

> able to do.

>4. For expert computer users: compressed attached text file, created with

> Stuffit(tm), ~114K. Can be decompressed by any computer user who

> has expansion software to decompress (expand) Stuffit(tm) (.sit) files.

> This is for more advanced computer users only and will cut your

> download time by 78%. Expands out to the same ~525K file in option

> #2. See option #2 for more info on what you will need to be able to do.

>Hi fellow 'netters,

>

>My name is Lucy Whitten and I recently started using a magazine

>subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription

>deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them.

>They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country

>on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they

>more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for

>most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles.

>

>Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their

>competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price

>guarantee.

>

>Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half

>of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some

>titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They

>feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people

>buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes

>or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to

>make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper

>than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the

>publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half

>their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new

>members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language.

>

>Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and

>cut-out all the middlemen.

>

>They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and

>juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of

>all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by

>categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that

>they sell.

>

>Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student.

>I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my

>part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully

>follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail.

>

>They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are

>less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other

>times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet.

>They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it.

>

>They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I

>haved moved from one country to another.

>

>They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from

>a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will

>give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them

>to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular

>USA titles they sell.

>

>They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have

>clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a

>charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie

>subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to

>be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change

>when I moved from one country to another.

>

>The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"

>(even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase

>automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts

>as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls

>you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes

>he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he

>insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I

>sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future

>orders (after your first order) via E-mail.

>

>He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know

>just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas,

>he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he

>still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long

>distance rates are cheaper then.

>

>He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing

>members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had

>a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they

>could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately

>when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new

>members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased

>their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above

>form to them, that is the way to get started!

>

>They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and

>juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of

>all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by

>categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that

>they sell.

>

>They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of

>free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what

>he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly,

>no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and

>answer all your questions.

>

>Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.

>

>

>Sincerely,

>Lucy Whitten

>

>ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net

>who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join

>and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for

>each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25

>referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas,

>Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name

>when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring

>you.

>Thank you.
