Boy, I must really be somebody now
I've gotten several e-mails saying I've been selected for Who's Who. Strathmore's Who's Who, Presidential Who's Who, Continental Who's Who, Princeton Who's Who. As Dr. Seuss might say, who knew there was a whole slew of Who's Whos? Anywho, I know they're b.s. and I really haven't been selected for a thing, but my question is does anyone know of any negatives to signing up anyway? None of them seem to be asking for any money, several specifically say there's no fee (and they wouldn't get a penny from me if there was a fee), and I'm all about having my info listed wherever I can. What do you think?

I don't think there are any negatives. They aren just banking on the fact that the people who are listed will buy the book.

Might get you on a lot more spam lists, but
there's always the delete button.

Be sure to send me an autographed copy. I could be very valuable on eBay some day.

Oops not "I" but "It". Even my used body parts wouldn't bring much on eBay.

I've been receiving those same emails.
I must confess when I received the first one I was flattered at first. I sat up straight in front of the computer and stuck my chest out. Then...I started thinking....what had I really done to to warrant this recognition. Then I Googled the company and realized the email had nothing to do with me and everything to do with the company getting their hands on some of my hard earned money.
