On the other hand!-)...
 
The first lady had already been removed from our list by the time we
received a cancellation request from the whitehouse.
 
I haven't seen any other subscriptions but now, two days later,
comes a message from the "first.lady"'s autoresponder (apparently
originating this morning).
 
Sure, it could have been backed up and have taken two days to get to
responding to our list... on the other hand, could some people now be
taking advantage of an excuse to spam? (considering the whitehouse
acted to ask people to remove the people from lists you would think
they would kill their autoresponder queue in kind).
 
ok ok, so I watch too much Oliver Stone!-)
