Thank you Cliff for all of this information and putting it so clearly. I just open them and delete them for alot of the reasons you outlined. They are more bothersome to respond to. I know not everyone wants to join the mailing lists because I suggested that on one of the message boards and got a ton of e-mail about from people with reasons they did not want to join mailing list. I personally would prefer not to get them. Kristin Cooney-Ayotte Troy **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.
