I've gotten a couple in the past; I wrote back to the people responsible
and told them that if they repeated this I would make a point not only of
not buying from them, but of encouraging my co-workers to also buy from
their competitors; and I also told them that I would call up the highest
level of supervisor I could find to explain that (sales rep's name here)
was responsible for them losing my business.

Any sales reps reading this:  Make a note, because my policy hasn't
changed.

Note that there are circumstances in which I would welcome email
discussing a product, from sales reps or anyone.  If you're not able to
figure out what circumstances are appropriate, then you probably shouldn't
be using the net.
