Junk Mail -- Have You Been Able To Stop It?

[SnowRidge]

Has anyone succeeded in stopping the stuff, or at least getting rid of a substantial portion of it?

There are a couple of threads on the subject, but they don't really say if anyone has been successful at stopping it. I know about sending the stuff back in the prepaid 'lopes. While that's entertaining and a good pay back, I just want to kill it.

Anyone?

My bad, next time I'll read a little slower.

Uuuh, Kendall, look at his post again. It sure appears to me that SnowRidge is talking about snail mail instead of e-mail. And other than sending it back in the prepaid envelopes, as he mentioned (and I'm not even sure that works sometimes), I don't know how you'd stop it. I only got 4 of those today.

I LIKE junk mail!
It lets me know the mailman has gone by when I find something in the box
I get suspicious when I get nothing and it seems on the rare occassions when I get nothing the next day is heavy....hmmmm.

Couldn't stop it completely, but sure reduced it by not opening it and writing
RETURN TO SENDER on it and putting it back in the mailbox. Might be worth
a try for you. Takes a little time for it to slow or even stop.
Good Luck

Winters coming and it makes a good firestarter.

Mailman doesn't call it "junk mail".

He calls it "job security".

I write "Remove me from your list" on the application and put everything back in the postage paid envelope and send it off. When I say everything, I mean even the original envelope! I don't know if they actually do it or not, but I seem to get a lot less than I used to.

Thanks, I may try that.
