Bulk mail, direct mail, and direct marketing are not strictly speaking the same thing. Direct mail is a subset of direct marketing but direct marketing also includes telemarketing, online shopping, TV infomercials, etc. Direct mail also does not always fall under the bulk mail category. I started the article on direct mail because direct mail was redlinked in two different articles. Anyway these three subjects, while related, could probably eventually each get an article of their own. Parrothead 18:28, 23 August 2008 (EDT)
