> So Dave. Tonight I get a fax on the machine. It's from the company that 
> does my totally cool Net-mom pens, the ones I hand out at book signings, 
> trade shows, etc. The company, www.4imprint.com, does great work, and they 
> are always sending out interesting new samples of fun products. Which 
> brings me back to the fax, and I quote:
>
> "Attention 4Imprint customers:
> We recently sent out a customer mailing containing free samples of 
> individually-wrapped Buttermints in a white envelope imprinted in red and 
> black. You may have already received your sample package or it is on its 
> way. Unfortunately the packages entered the mail stream before the recent 
> anthrax scare and may have become crushed during delivery, leaving a 
> yellowish-white powder inside your envelope.
>
> Please accept our sincerest apologies if this mailing has caused you any 
> concerns. Our only thought was for you to enjoy the Buttermints. If you 
> have any questions, please call...<etc>"
>
> I love the fact that the company took this extra step and faxed all its 
> customers. I hate that they had to, though. I hope my Buttermints make it 
> through intact.
