Disheartened

Well, I sent out my postcards yesterday and didn't even expect any of them to be delivered so soon. When I got home from work, there were messages on my phone machine. They were not the type of messages that I would have hoped for. They were from people telling me to take their names off of my mailing list.

They must have no idea that it was a one time mailing list borrowed from a public data source - I couldn't remove their name if I wanted to.
Did any of you ever get such a rude response? I mean really - if not interested, it takes a lot more time to sit there and call someone and tell them so than to just toss the little piece of paper in the garbage. Anyway, I hope ALL of them don't feel like they've been spammed. How disheartening - people can be so thoughtless.
