Reader Rant
I didn't order this!
I recently received a DVD from you in the mail. It said I was selected to receive the first in a series of DVDs for just $9.95. How lucky for me that you selected me as one of your subscribers who were chosen to have this DVD forced on them! Thanks, but no thanks! I am sending the DVD back immediately. If I hadn't, I'm sure you would charge me the 10 bucks every month until I told you to cancel! I know this was some marketing genius's idea to make some money for the magazine. But please don't pull this crap with your subscribers. We get enough of these B.S. offers from the credit card companies!

Thanks for returning the DVD, Scott, but you really don't have to. If you read everything you'll find that since the DVD is unsolicited mail, under Federal law you have no obligation to do anything with it. You can keep it, return it, throw it away, pay for it, regift it, or anything else, and we won't get upset or harass you. If someone does call or write that you owe us money, send them my way so I can handle it. Consider it a gift if you want, with our appreciation for subscribing in the first place. Yes, it is a marketer's idea, and many subscribers are happy with the DVD and happy to pay. That helps the company make money so we can keep our subscription prices low. If you want me to pass this note on to our marketing department so they take you off the list and stop sending you offers, I will be happy to do so.
