He likes to call it ''bulk e-mailing,'' for starters. And he considers it just one of the many exciting new markets available on the Internet. He's the kind of guy who is always interrupting himself to tell you about some smart economic angle he has figured out, some new edge. i hope he's excited when the _men in black_ turn up with their MP5-SD3's. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Unfortunately it will be quite some time before I can look for them. If I find them I'll try to get copies to Al. By the way, I sure hope that somebody is making an archival backup of his site in case it goes away some day. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
