[RndTbl] snail mail spam ...

[Sean Walberg]

Google probably doesn't know the specifics. Domain.com would just be an
affiliate getting paid on a CPA basis (the payout used to be $20 but that
was without the coupon). What they're doing may or may not contravene their
agreement with Google. Google may or may not care that they're spamming you
with mail. Are they even breaking any laws?
