Mike: I was curious to get more of your thoughts on why organizations such as the direct marketing Association really fought against anti-spam legislation for a long time.

Our new product, the book 7 Steps to Freedom, was regarded by real professionals in the direct-marketing industry as the best book ever published on direct marketing. Many businessmen thought it was the best entrepreneurial book ever published by any person in business. It was beyond reproach.

But the truth is a majority of the public will send the product back if they are dissatisfied.
