Not so hot anymore....now is it? Got this in an email today. Damn, I'm glad I have at least one account for SPAM.

....... You see, before we decided to run the ad you responded to, we struggled to figure out a way to describe in writing all of the mouthwatering Gourmet Protein? flavors we?ve created.
But after a few days, we finally gave up and realized that the only way for you to truly see just how incredible Gourmet Protein? tastes was by simply giving it away ? and then let you decide for yourself. We knew that once you tried it, you?d be hooked immediately and call us back right away to order more. So did our little plan work?
Actually, It Worked A Little Too Well...
Our original plan was to run this ad each month with the hope of getting at least 6,000 of you to call us over the course of a year. In fact, you might even remember that we limited the offer to the first 500 who contacted us.
So you had better believe me when I say that we were blown away when the very first day our ad ran, we got 1,000 responses!!! And each day after that our phones kept ringing ? and ringing ? and ringing ? and the emails literally poured in! In fact, in only 6 days, we had over 9,200 responses logged into our database. Then just 7 days later we were up to 13,700 ... and that's only from the subscribers!

It goes on an on. Sorry. Better luck next time Illini2003.
