In the old days (a few years ago), I used to be able to use the PC as a fax 
machine and fax out thousands of letter introducing myself to the business 
community (I'm an accountant).
Later on, I started getting a few calls from businesses who insisted that I 
delete their names from my listing.
Since I only did this mass=faxing once a year or so, and since I used 
different sources for the names each time, I did not remove any names or make 
any notes as to who was upset with this form of self-advertising.
Although the negative response was very small compared to the total amount 
faxed out (may be 10 in 2,000), I still have some comprehensiveness (?) about 
using this same form of advertising.
The system is cheaper than mailing the letters out and everything is handled 
by the PC with little human intervention and I have picked up quite a bit of 
business using this system and have received good feedback from existing and 
potential clients.
Is there another was to go about this?  I tried hand delivery of the letters 
but this was too time consuming.  (I guess I'm just "scared" of some irate 
businessperson knowing my telephone number (and address from the letter) 
tracking me down and inflicting great pain on my home business and body.)
