I don't think anybody asked for it.

Or just ignore them. In fact, at this point I'm hanging on to the DVD just
out of spite. Initially I thought I'd complain about what a ripoff the
video "club" is, but discovered that The History Channel charges the same or
more.

(Just don't ever let them know your email address...you'll be getting
insurance spam and comeons for Wayne's latest book until the crack of doom.)

how many potential members has the NRA lost because of publicity about
this sort of thing? More importantly, how many members got fed up and
quit?

This is a great, dare I say, textbook example of counterproductivity.

NRA mailings can also help heat your home if you have a wood stove.

It appears that they are unable to comprehend that we send them what we want
to send them and that they should not ask for more on a weekly basis.
