"qualified leads"... not from my past employer (Score 1)

I remember working a loooong time ago (Lotus 1-2-3, anyone?) performing data entry for a company that provided "qualified leads" for sale. Supposedly, you could be assured that you would get sales leads that conformed to your requirements... salary/age range, investment interests, etc. Most often, I'd be handed a regional telephone book for the area that was ordered (say, Denver), and would type in everything listed. So, old story with a new twist.

I suppose the one good thing to come of employment there was that thru sheer drudgery, I learned to blind touch-type the entire keyboard (numbers & special characters included).
