I received a phone call from these people.  I explained quite clearly (I
thought) that I do not accept video previews and I did not want their's.
The salesperson presisted, I got annoyed and told her absolutely not,
goodbye and hung up.  Well, you guessed it, the videos showed up today along
with a bill.  Since I had just ordered videos from several places, I opened
the box along with the others.  There was a letter thanking me for my
kindness on the phone.  Boy, that must have been a form letter!!!  I don't
feel under any obligation to return the videos since I had refused them
before.  I don't know if I'll get around to watching them though.
