Funny you should mention that. One thing I corrected was my email address, which in the 2003 directory was "juno" instead of "jono". A snail mail card with a one-letter error stands a better chance of still being delivered. It can also be forwarded to a new postal address if the recipient has moved, whereas an email to a bad address will either bounce back or just disappear in cyberspace.

Wasn't referring to that - an incorrect or outdated email could happen regardless of method used.

I was responding to your comment about making sure your personal info was correct. Studies have shown that there is a much greater chance for error (due to "mishearing") when done on telephone vs. typed into an email, electronic form, and any other form of electronic communication, since you then have a virtual hard copy.

And, of course, there's plenty of studies that show sales increase significantly when solicited over the phone. That's why telemaketing is such a huge (and, increasingly regulated) business.
