Dear Mr/Ms Fraidy Pants If you are so full of indignation over the abuses of SDP/NME why are you hiding behind anonimity? That plays into the hands of the very people you are castigating. Your irrational fear plays right into their game plan. What is it you are afraid of?? If you still work for them, you must be aware of the union movement that has s****.. Want to be a force for change?, see any one of the above mentioned, sign a Union authorization card and get involved. By the way, Pat Haines is a real person, her married name is Pat Romanow and she was one of the company founders along with her son Randy and Bill Hood. I was on her TSR (SSA) team in 1991. She retired some years ago and leases her name to the company for the mail pieces. I am pursuing several legal remedies against the company for my own wrongful termination, and believe you me they ALL know who I am, from Bill Hood, to Robert Moravek, to Sam Salvo to Kathie Margaritondo on down.

I think what you are doing is wrong. I do work for the company and I find nothing wrong with them. And customers do need to start paying attention to what they are listening to. I admit I got suckered into buying magazines for five years too and when I got that first bill I was outraged. But it was not with National Magazine Exchange, it was with Consolidated Media Services. It's a fact that most of the stuff that people tell us on the phone goes through one ear and out the other. If you are really upset with the company, then why are you still working with them? We do repeat ourselves so MANY times not because we like to, but just so customers can understand what they are agreeing to.

Apparently you are not as unhappy about ripping people off as you say, or else, you would no longer be working for the company that you are bashing. As a former employee of SDP, I know that it is not as big of a rip-off as you claim. The customers calling in do have the opportunity to refuse the magazine subscriptions offered to them. Thus, prior to making your company look bad, go back to school, take a few grammar classes and get a d**n degree and move the hell on. If SDP is so bad, LEAVE!!!!!
