I am located a couple thousand miles from a Penzey's. What's your
point? I have no idea what you did to get email 'spam from Penzey's,
but I email order from them all the time and did not get political
spam (or any other kind of spam from them).
As to my assumption regarding you getting a catalog, it came from this
response you made to Wayne
"Wayne, you are getting them at the local store, not on their mailing
list as a distance customer."
This comment implies that your experience is different from his
because your experience is through mailing.
