Tell me about it. But then again, he knows next to nothing about comps, so I guess this wasn't that uncalled for.

That's your spam address right? Because I'll bet you he's gonna sign up for every stupid promotion thing on the internet now. LOL

Nah, he wont' cuz he doesn't know how to use a comp. I think he needed it for a rebate when he signed up as a new customer. But yeah, it IS my spam email, so it's all good. :Db
