I wrote to Mr Strangelove and got a free sample issue. I found the
journal revealing, but probably not in ways Mr Strangelove would hope. I
also ran the risk of getting my name sold to yet another large family of
mailing lists, a risk whenever one orders anything through the mail.
Nevertheless, I encourage members of COMPRIV to take advantage of this
offer to learn more about how some entrpreneurs are trying to make their
fortune off the net and its users. Caveat emptor, and knowledge is
power. If you know what IBJ is like, and what Mr Strangelove is up to,
you can better judge the more useful (IMHO) internet-oriented publications.
