You can also sign do not mail petition (like Do Not Call National Petition) I did some search online and this is the best resource so far available online (correct me if I am wrong). I have done this 5 months ago and my mailbox is literally empty ( I have paperless billing and also opted out from various mail lists) I check my mail twice a month now. It is beautiful. I even took the letter from samples provided and wrote it to a local Chinese restaurant that keeps putting fliers in my door. They stopped too in the whole subdivision. http://awakening.weebly.com/stop-junk-mail.html I even opted out from the yellow book. What do I need it for, since the internet is right here. Thanks for the post.

And the amount of whining that goes into online stats makes it even more stunning :) Yeah the offline world has some of the most byzantine methods in extracting #s - from Nielson ratings to yellowpages/newspaper distribution #s, the inflation is quite stunning.
