That's another good idea for subverting their marketing info. Hmm... I
wonder if they've sent me any junk mail. Since I gave them the address of
a parking lot and the phone number of a fax machine I have no idea. But
then I'm a ditzy CEO making 250k+ (according to the info provided) so no
one would expect me to get anything right. =^.^=

"It is not necessarily impossible for human beings to fly, but it so
happens that God did not give them the knowledge of how to do it. It
follows, therefore, that anyone who claims that he can fly must have
sought the aid of the devil. To attempt to fly is therefore sinful."
