akarunway 1 #1 March 5, 2004 From USPA website. Does this disturb anyone other than me? Mailing list rental program Order the largest and most accurate mailing list of skydivers -- 34,000 names and addresses available. Custom sorts allow you to choose any number of USPA members (minimum 500) by zip, city, state, region, gender, date joined, and type of rating. The rented list is intended for a one-time use only. Subsequent mailings or seasonal mailings require additional rentals. For detailed information about the mailing list program and to order a mailing list, please read and complete the following documents: Mailing List Rental Program Specifications (.pdf) Mailing List Rental Program Order Form (.pdf) Mailing List Rental Program Agreement (.pdf) For further questions, e-mail us.

PhreeZone 15 #5 March 5, 2004 Its extremely common in the mailing industry. Want me to tell you every credit card you have and put you on promotion lists for every company? Its really easy to do at a direct marketing firm... Guess who buys the list. Paragear, gear stores, people like that.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diablopilot 2 #6 March 5, 2004 I think Toni handled that rather nicely. She's a great person, and one of the ones that might get you out of a pinch when you show up at another DZ on your holliday, when you forgot to renew your membership. Not that I would ever let that happen..... ---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
