No, Julie, *you* seem to not understand how these things work. You
order something, of course they'll send you another catalog. Then
they'll sell their mailing list so you also get *those* catalogs. DUH!

Doubtful. And as someone else mentioned, you don't have to make it a
marathon telephone session. The phone number is always on the catalog.
(Another DUH moment since, believe it or not, not everyone has a
computer - some people phone in their orders.) Fact is, they don't
*have* to take you off their list if you've ever done business with
them. Most will, though. But the next time you order something from
them (even online) they'll just put you right back on it.
