Thanks Rich. I think the general analysis and comments on catalogs (catalogues) and flyers (circulars/inserts/FSIs) are a little more interesting/important than the direct mail discussion
(And to your end note, I use data as a plural (As I believe Dr. Joe does as well.) but the its common use of singular isn't wrong and doesn't grate on me, as do other things that have come into common usage.)
