RE: What is a "database"?(and human beings as the tailings of dat a mining)

(Much about direct mail snipped )

Joel, Glenn, et al...

One thing I do on a REGULAR basis when I'm looking for info, filling out
one of those bingo cards, going to conference expo's, etc....  I'll use a
fake name and have all the junk sent to the PO Box...  If I'm just
meandering for info I may or may not use a junk mail name...  Also, I've
got 2 sets of business cards: 1 with fax and 1 WITHOUT fax...guess how
many trips to the dumpster THAT saves me?

Yeah, if I'm just filling out a form for a t-shirt or putting a card in a
fishbowl for a drawing, etc., I'll use a tweek on the name and definately
NO fax...:)
