in 12 months, the only paypal emails I've had sent to me from paypal other than "kaching" mails (i've paid or been paid) were two. One to confirm my account email, and one from support after I emailed them. I've never, ever been solicited via email from paypal, and never been hit by junkmail from them. On the other hand, I have recieved about, oh, 60 direct to junkmail pieces a month from folks who just happen to be interested in getting access to my paypal account. And I hate Paypal. IF folks would use something else, I'd go for it in a heartbeat!

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
