You play the same game you do with the people who barrage you with ads containing business-reply cards or envelopes: give a bogus answer. Let them waste time figuring out that they're getting a non-answer--THAT makes them pay for it. Don't abuse the technique--you don't need to flame someone just because you aren't interested--but when someone gets out of hand and/or won't pay attention to a reasoned request, zing them via e-mail. The advertising potential of the net is large--but so is the potential response to offensive advertising; it cuts both ways. If people respond when they're offended, the advertiser gets the idea quickly. -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...Cerebus for dictator!
