Reply #3: I called Captial One yesterday, one of the WORST snail mail spammers... [View All]

[Amerigo Vespucci]

...and said "I want to opt out." They asked if I wanted to opt out from snail mail, email, phone...I said "EVERYTHING. I do not want you to communicate with me on ANY level." Then they said that if there were "offers already in place," it might take several weeks to stop receiving crap from them.

I do own my own business, a strategic marketing firm specializing in Web Site design, digital photography, and desktop publishing. I salute your willingness to own a business and make it prosper in this economy. It isn't easy, but for me (and I'm sure for you as well), I'm not willing to consider any other option. I worked in Silicon Valley for 30+ years and was one of the 8500 people laid off from Cisco Systems in 2001. When I walked out their back door for the last time I said to myself "NEVER AGAIN," and I've kept that promise.

By the way...for anyone who believes the shit about Cisco being one of the "best companies to work for," it is a back-stabbing meat grinder. If you worked there, you know this. If you didn't, you're buying into the John Chambers P.R. bullshit.
