JUST RELEASED VOL. 2

JUST RELEASED!!! INTRODUCING...THE CD VOL. 2 The CD - Vol. 2, is the absolute best product of its' kind anywhere in the world today. There are no other products anywhere that can compete with the quality of this product. We took a total of over 190 million email addresses from many of the touted CD's that are out there (bought them all - some were $300+)! We added the millions we had in storage to those. When we combined them all, we had in excess of 300+ million addresses in one huge file. We ran a super "sort/de-dupe" program against this huge list. It cut the file down to less than 20 million!!! Can you believe that? It seems that most people that are selling CD's are duping the public by putting numerous files of addresses in the CD over and over. This created many duplicate addresses. They also had many program "generated" email addresses like CompuServe, MCI, ANON's, etc. This causes a tremendous amount of undeliverables. After completion of removal of duplicates and initial filtering we were left with the base of 10 Million addresses worth fine tuning to finish the project. Remember, we are not here to produce the CD with the gad zillion millions that our competitors are so proud to put their names on these days. We ARE here to produce the very BEST CD list as far as quality of addresses go We then ran a program that contained 300+ keywords to remove addresses with vulgarity, profanity, sex-related names, postmaster, webmaster, flamer, abuse, spam, etc., etc. Also eliminated all .EDU, mil, .org, .GOV, Genie, Delphi, GNN, Wow etc. We also filtered out all addresses found in any of our 1300+ domains list. We also filtered out addresses in excess of 30,000 which have proven to be affiliated with anyone found to be opposed to our using direct bulk email as a advertising medium. We have also purged the list to be free of any "web poison" addresses created by those who are opposed to us conducting legitimate business on the internet today. If you do not know what web poisoned addresses are, please look it up now. One list we recently purchased had over 90% poisoned addresses. The "bottom line" here is that you can go out on the world market today and purchase every lists for thousands of dollars and NOT have anymore worth owning than what we have compiled for you here today. You use these addresses, you will experience increased response, increased sales, and a host of other positives that far exceeds any hoped for results when using the competitor's inferior products. Our customers purchase our products over and over and over. Most of the competition ever succeeds is selling a second product to anyone after they purchase the first. So, you see, our list will save people hundreds of dollars buying all others that are out there on CD and otherwise. Using ours will be like using the 200+ million that we started with, but a lot less money and a lot less time!! We have always said, "You can buy from the REST or you can buy from the BEST". Your choice. _____________________________ What others are saying: "I received the CD on Friday evening. Like a kid with a new toy, I immediately started bulking out using the new email addresses. Over the course of the weekend, I emailed out over 500,000 emails and I received less than TWENTY undeliverables!! I am totally satisfied with my purchase!! Thanks Premier!!"

RE: Postcard Debates
by Wilson, Jamie (J.R.) 17 Dec '03

The problem with the USPS is that it is government run -- like anything government run, it doesn't work right. It's too expensive, too slow, and too unreliable. Email, on the other hand, is largely handled by the private sector. Hence, it works better. What I find interesting (in response to your note that the USPS would charge), is that the U.S. government had to actually pass a law to make sure the U.S. government doesn't start taxing the Internet. ____________________________________________________ Jamie R.

I must admit. . .

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I wonder sometimes whether or not there is hope for us to ever stop this tyrrany. I've seen a bunch of us diss the strike saying it was an outlandish and foolish idea, but I hadn't seen anyone of you come up with something better. That act of protest, no matter how small, serves to raise awareness. Whether it's five minutes after finding out that a war has errupted, or ten years into the war, each serves its purpose. At least it was na idea, it was a start. We're never going to be able to do anything at all if we don't start somewhere and the strike seemed as good an idea as any. Hopefully we can follow in the footsteps of our ancestors who fought and died for freedom, true freedom not this crap we see displayed on the tube everynight. I hope we don't fall into that catagorie of the kinds of people that talk and talk and never do, for if this is the case, then we have already lost and might as well drive ourselves to the concentration camps. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.0.2 iQA/AwUBNnVz81MQ9C083U98EQI68wCfbCa/HA/NN1+u3865z7Oq3m5XvnEAn3kE wl2adBuq2l21DFm/Isn+5MzK =uEBu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- == Ogre bounces like sonar. . .Peace.

Unfortunately, AFAIK copyrighted software is NOT public domain. GPL and the like usually make a big song and dance to the effect of "this s/w is copyrighted and not in the public domain". Even worse, I think the original PGP is pretty clearly not in the public domain, since commercial uses must be paid for. So does anyone know just how does Wassenaar define the term "public domain", and is open source indeed covered? Cheers, Frank.
