The arrival of that DVD was before I found this board, but I do (or did) subscribe to McCalls Quilting Magazine. They could get our names anywhere, from any fabric site, or quilting blogs, or even from watching YouTube tutorial videos, or even from mailing lists from places like JoAnn's or Hancock Fabrics. Lots of places sell their customer/user lists, unfortunately. Every time we register for a catalog or a quilters' newsletter, we just have to know those lists will probably be sold. That's one way they support their site. Our next best option is to know the law and not to pay for things we didn't request.
