These things are just robo-blasts sent out by MTH's computer. They also send one out weekly to the all the other OGR model train forums. No sense getting upset about it. It's like all the "unknown caller" names that show up on my caller ID, I've learned to ignore them.
Until proven otherwise, I'm pretty much no longer considering MTH as an S manufacturer. While Lionel currently makes little Flyer I'm interested in, at least they're still making stuff.
