AT & T correspondence

All, today I received what looked to be a pen pal letter. No, it was an A T & T advertisement from Chris Thomas of El Segundo, CA. Anyone else get this, know this person or know if this person got addresses from a forum or the snailmail board?

He's moved! He used to send out crap for Direct TV. It's just another marketing ploy, like the ones that look like the government sent them.

I'd save a hundred or so junk mailings, place them all in one big envelope, then send it to one of the offenders. Don't put stamps on it, don't use a return address (or use another offender's address as the return) and drop it in the mailbox outside the post office.

I can think of better ways to get even, most of them are even legal.

Sandy, yes I got the same a while ago. Can't imagine why he'd use us for his mailing list. Not exactly dialed in to his market niche...

I think they buy address listings for entire zip codes.

Spam snail mail!!

What a sad use of our names! When I saw your title I was hoping it was going to be more along the lines of this fun old watermarked Bell Telephone/AT&T paper I have.
