How do you feel about junk mail?

I do not like it one bit.  Recently a friend sent me this ... it's taken me a while to get into the habit of doing it, but when I do, it feels great!

Junk Mail Help: When you get 'ads' enclosed with your phone or utility bill, return these 'ads' with

your payment. Let the sending companies throw their own junk mail away. When you get those 'pre-approved' letters in the mail for everything from credit cards

to 2nd mortgages and similar type junk, do not throw away the return envelope. Most of these come with postage-paid return envelopes, right? It costs them more

than the regular 44 cents postage, 'IF' and when they receive them back. It costs them nothing if you throw them away! The postage was around 50 cents

before the last increase and it is according to the weight. In that case, why not

get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little, postage-paid

return envelopes.  One of Andy Rooney 's (60 minutes) ideas.  Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Send a pizza

coupon to Citibank.If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them

their blank application back! If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on anything

you send them. You can even send the envelope back empty if you want to just to keep them

guessing! It still costs them 44 cents. The banks and credit card companies are currently getting a lot of their own junk

back in the mail, but folks, we need to OVERWHELM them. Let's let them know

what it's like to get lots of junk mail, and best of all they're paying for it...Twice! Let's help keep our postal service busy since they are saying that e-mail is cutting

into their business profits, and that's why they need to increase postage costs again.

You get the idea! If enough people follow these tips, it will work. I have been doing this for years,

and I get very little junk mail anymore.

To your sanity!
