|Does anyone still have a copy of the digest that included the Wine & Travel
|contest spam from HowdySF -at- aol -dot- com? Or does a non-digest subscriber still
|have the original post?
|If so, please forward it (individual post or complete digest including that
|post) with a complaint to:
|TOSEmail -at- aol -dot- com or TOSEmail2 -at- aol -dot- com
|I deleted my digest before I realized that AOL requires that the original
|mail be forwarded directly to them. They won't take action based on a
|copied excerpt.
|BTW, unsolicited commercial advertising is directly forbidded in AOL's
|Terms of Service. They -do- discipline users that violate those terms.
|It -is- worth the time it takes to complain.
|Thanks.

| sales representatives to give valued clients and
|customers. Managers to present to their co-workers, or
|FRIENDS to give to FRIENDS.
|The engraving/airbrushing gives a three dimensional
|look and feel that insures the permanency of the
|design. These are not simply a decal or surface
|painted designs. And the price is surpisingly low -
|$24.95 (includes shipping/handling)/bottle
|(volume discounts are available)
|The above price includes a premium 1993 Robert Mondavi
|Woodbridge (barrel aged) wine (Cab or Chardonay). . .
