Below is the text of a spammaster's post that ended up
in my box.  I'm enclosing my email back to them first,
and if there's interest, I'll post their response.  I
wil admit now to great cynicism about what that response
will be.

|Due to the fact that your customers are forced to read your E-mail subject
|line, the response rate potential is greatly increased and people are
|getting dramatic response rates of 2% to 4% on bulk E-mail. Response rates
|depend almost entirely on how well your marketing letter or ad is written.

What do you do to cull email addresses of those who
do not want to receive such emails?

|GUARANTEE: If you get less than 100 responses, or if you are not pleased
|for any reason with any of our mailings, we will reword your ad with you,
|and it will be posted again for FREE! No questions asked!!

Will you guarantee that I will get at least 100 responses
that are not complaints or flames?

Thanks you,
Miles
