Is there a specific merge-purge program you've used or recommend? More on what we do later, need to spend some time with my son. -- Steve [link\|http://www.ubuntulinux.org\|Ubuntu]

But there is a large amount of tuning and expertise that goes into setting these up. You might spend more on consulting and setup than on the software itself. How much is the cost to mail each duplicate each month? What is your expected payback time?

One cost that people might not think of, because it's not a direct monetary outlay at the time of mailing, is the extent to which the efficiency of the marketing dross (presumably?) you're sending is lessened because of the annoyance of recieving two identical copies of it. Hard as Hell to quantify, of course... But I know that shit like that, being a sign of inefficiency and thus stupidity (not to mention being a waste of natural resources), pisses me off quite a bit; and since I'm hardly unique in this respect, there's some opportunity cost incurred there.
