[PLUG-TALK] Online greeting cards

"Free" online greeting cards are often a sleezy way to collect email
addresses for spammers.  Click on the link, and you verify the email
address and "establish a business relationship."  If you aren't
paying for it, you are the product.  Ask any cow at the feedlot.

I get many of these from my less-than-clueful friends.  Are there
any /paid/ online greeting card services that demonstrably do NOT
sell the address lists?  I would like to give useful suggestions 
to my friends, not just point out their cluelessness.

I suppose I could Google for it, but then Google would add me to
the list they sell to the same card spammers.

Keith
