Worthless form letter - obviously no human ever read it. Also, I was initially wrong, postmaster@capitolone.com *does* bounce. The chances of my ever accepting a CapitolOne credit card offer have just gone to zero.

Chris,
Where's that list of redirectors?
How do these large companies find such stupid people to do this for them? Wouldn't you think any programmer would tell his boss why these shouldn't exist? Or is there some book with an example every idiot is copying from?

P.S. There seem to be no limits on where this one will take you, porn, pills, and penis gadgets, etc..
