Anybody got any good ideas on a letter/sales pitch we could mail?  I was
thinking something like "With the latest word in annoyance technology,
our group is singularly positioned to make your life -- or at least that
of your mail room -- miserable.  Isn't mass mailing great??"

Any reactions out there, or am I being snotty?

A letter? Snail mail? Nah! That costs US money! If they think people love
getting email so much, they must love it too! So everybody: get a hotmail
account (they're free) that you'll and never use to actually check mail, and
email them like crazy! Set up batch jobs that run every 8 seconds mailing them!
I'm sure they'll love it, since they've proven that people hate banners but
love having their inbox always full!
