You give them potential customer names and they can't even provide the discount immediately? As a forum member, I would NOT recommend anyone to provide a list of email addresses to Cafepress.

I have to agree with you on that bruno. I think it's exactly what you say, a ploy to garner potential business by sending out spamming e-mails. It's not entirely unheard of these days either.
I just want to make it clear this is Cafepress doing this, not me. I have no access to any of your personal information, other than the name and location (state/country) of those who have ordered, and the progress of your orders. I don't want or need to know even that much. I'm just the vehicle here and there's nothing in it for me anyway.
