I knew it had to be coming from some mailing list, sold to outsiders to earn an extra buck for whoever had compiled the list. At first I thought it was the electric company, or the secretary of state's office (driver's licenses and license plates). However, not long ago I received my 1982 Federal income tax forms, and there on the label was the same 'CAR RT SORT' phrase. I don't particularly appreciate utility companies, etc. giving my name and address out so freely. I don't know if I can really say the same thing if the IRS is the one who is making money from the list. After all, if they don't get the money from peddling the list to junk mail houses, they may step up their qausi-legal arm twisting tactics on us ordianry taxpayers. ~a s/ordianry/ordinary/ (When will we get a sem-intelligent interface to news ?)
