Default [IBC] Don't get lost in the spam, was [IBC] Hi

"HOWEVER, do you get as angry about the junk mail that comes into
your regular (postal) mailbox every day? THESE actually cost you
money. Spam is just annoying. The junk mail you get every day
is the reason the Postal Service keeps asking for postal rate
increases. THEY are required to deliver it. Delivery costs
money. You need to point some of your anti-spam angst to the
Postal Service and get them to raise the rates for postal spam,
and NOT for the birthday cards and letters that we send."

So what can you do? Well I open almost everything. If I get a postage
paid envelope I simply tear the junk up, place it in the envelope and drop
it in the mailbox. When they see they have paid twice for the junk mail
sent to me I seldom find another item from them in my mailbox. YMMV
