Pretty sure I'm on their mailing list because I bought a power tool

You bought an extra warranty for a $20. HF Sawzall? How much?

Can't remember exactly, but 'tweren't much; I think $5? What the hell;
at that price, still a steal.

Last week I bought a mouse pad at Best Buy for 99¢.

They asked if I wanted the extended warranty.

I asked them if I looked like David Nebenzahl.

OK, I guess I deserved that.

In my defense, harrumph, I should say that I don't suggest that anyone
else buy these extended warranties. I bought mine in a moment of
weakness: I hadn't bought any HF power tools for a long time. It looked
like a great deal (I always tell people: $20 for a sawzall? How could I
*not* buy one?), but I blame the FUD that I'd heard about these tools
for my wanting to hedge my bet against the tool wearing out.

Had I to do it over again, I wouldn't waste money on such a warranty.

Me neither. I would invest in Wheat pennies.
