	I too fill out reader service cards when I'm "half-interested".
I've also bought about $1500 worth of mail order stuff this past year.
	My gripe is that the info sent in response to these reader cards
is useless about 90% of the time.  This is because they usually send
a glossy copy of the ad that was in the magazine.  Sometimes they include
a price list, but I find it rare to get more info than was in the ad in
the first place.  This makes it difficult to get enough info on a product
if it isn't available locally.
