American Digital American Digital Networks Mail solicitation looks like an invoice. Offers a service to create a "private internet". Annapolis, Maryland

A.D.N. will contact this submitter to discuss the legal issues involved in making unsubstantiated claims as to the intent of A.D.N.

A.D.N. sent a marketing packet which stated clearly, in very large print on the front of the envelope, INVITATION TO PARTICIPATE.  A.D.N. also included a buckslip with the benefits of participation and a letter explaining the service in detail.  On the form itself, we included clear statements on the front and back of the form that the form should be used to participate in our program and participation is not required.  The form is meant to facilitate participation and is our alternative to marketing programs by other companies such as aggressive phone solicitations or sending auto-signup checks where, when cashed, will enroll the user.

Our service is an enhanced online directory and all of our content can be found through major search engines or by searching our network directly.  By being a part of our service, a user will increase the likelihood they will show up in search engine results.  If the submitter of the complaint actually read the form prior to submitting their complaint, they would have learned about the benefits of participation.

The term "private" Internet is used to describe what you essentially get when you participate in an online network.  The complainants claims that our service is "useless" simply shows, again, that they do not understand the service and did not take the time to read the material sent.  Facebook and other online networks are, in a way, private networks or Internet Networks.

The user did not participate in our service and if they contact us directly with a request to be removed from our invitation list, we will do so and hope any other customers or potential customers who receive our marketing -- in any form -- and have questions, will contact us via the clear contact information on our website.

It's clear this user needs to make revisions or retract their posting, if possible, because it is clear they did not contact us nor understand the service prior to making their post.

Nothing in this posting should be considered a settlement of this issue and A.D.N. reserves the right to legal or other appropriate action against this organization.
