[Ads-l] More ad copy

[Wilson Gray]

Headline of email ad:

“Choose Your _FREE_ Gift When You Buy a Max-Stream Router”


“Free gift” has become so stale and overused, over the dekkids, that
ad-writers feel that they have to emphasize the _free_, in order for the
public to get the point, apparently. OTOH, no exclamation point is needed.
