This, on the face of it, looks like a blatant attempt to poach my registration with 1and1 from 1and1.
Yes.
And, for what it's worth, the "small print" on the back of the letter is the smallest print I have ever seen!
lol ... nearly. I used to have a work disclaimer which said "Disclaimer, change font size to read" and the rest was in font size 1 ... it saved load of "space" when reading long emails. It just looked like quite a few lines :)
That's fine -- in electronic media! For instance, I could send a PDF document in font size 1, with instructions to view it (e.g. with Acrobrat Reader) at say 1600% zoom factor. Provided the text was done with fully rescalable vector font outlines, the zoom would cause no problems.
But if someone sends me a printed letter on paper with instructions "change font size to read", then I'd be inclined to write back saying I couldn't read it, but will keep it for posterity.
Cheers, Ted.
