off topic - payback
I have a home fax machine and sometimes get unwanted ads faxed to me.
They usually have an 800 number to call - often about insurance or investments. When I get one of those I put it back in the fax and dial the 800 number. You would not believe some of the things I hear the person saying after they answer the phone a few times and hear the fax beep. They get almost as mad as I do when I get their fax. This works best if your fax has a redial feature - when a person answers the fax can't conect to it tries again after 60 seconds - I put it on for as many recalls as it will make. I want to tie up their lines as long as possible. Ronnie http://fishing.about.com

Great Idea Ron and I'd do the same thing. Once in a while I track down spam
calls and give them the business just for the fun of it g -- God Bless America Josh The Bad Bear

An electronic version of sending back a bunch of blank papers in the
postpaid envelope that comes with credit card offers. "Ronnie" wrote in message oups.com... I have a home fax machine and sometimes get unwanted ads faxed to me.

@REEMOOVEfrontiernet.net says... An electronic version of sending back a bunch of blank papers in the postpaid envelope that comes with credit card offers. I used to have a couple hundred small flat pieces of some kind of thin steel. I'd put those in the envelopes so they'd have to pay extra postage. I still send them back (though I don't have any more of the steel). I write "remove me or keep paying postage" on the offers. MM
