RE: iNation moving right along

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm...

Is it the appeal of quality luggage that made people sign up more than once?

Maybe because deduping lists of various kinds of names and addresses (street
and e-mail) has been more than just a lifestyle choice for me in the last
few years, I find it somewhere between amusing and appalling that they
didn't dedupe the prospective citizens up front.  I mean this is a huge
company that does a lot of direct marketing.

The easy inference is that iNation isn't one of their most important
efforts.
