Bingo!  I'm pretty sure this is where they make a good chunk of their
money...by acting as a name service for mailing lists.  I had the same
problem when I joined a book club a few years back.

I can't vouch for CD clubs, but the book club turned out to be a great
deal financially, although it was a nuisance.  I got lots of junk mail,
even after I quit the club.
