Hahaha.  Lesseee... "infousa" implies USA only addresses right?
There are roughly 300M people in the USA, and you claim that
2M of them (1 in 150) have "opted-in" to receive email from
your company?  Tell you what... let us know who your employer
is, and we'll do an informal survey to see if 1 out of 150
of us has even heard of it.

BTW: the above is pretty gentle, I imagine you're about to get
flamed to a crisp by the rest of this list.
