Andrew Koenig:
    I recently got a form letter from Sears saying something like:
    "Dear customer:  We see that you recently bought something from us.
    Wouldn't you like to have a Sears credit card?  Just fill in this
    handy application...."

    Thing is, I made the purchase in question with my Sears card...

And how ELSE would they have known your address?  That form letter has
absolutely NO valid purpose!  There must be some kind of internal contest
among Sears employees: "Use every means at your disposal to GET EVERY MAN,
WOMAN, CHILD, AND PET TO CARRY A Sears CREDIT CARD, OR *E*L*S*E* !"

Bizarre store.  Wow.
