a heuristic that i would use would be:
please don't purchase "contact" lists from people.
please don't hire marketing folks who think that this is a good idea.
sales the old-fashioned way still works, you know. learn about people in
your market, get to know what they want, contact them individually when
you think you can make a sale.
since when did blind email campaigns to lists of people whose _origin you
can't even determine_ become a reasonable-sounding sales technique?
this isn't postcard-in-the-mailbox stuff, guys. and the people buying it
aren't likely to impulse-buy, anyhow. jeez.
