Sigh....

Yes.. I am aware of that.  Do you understand when someone is being
figurative? Or perhaps trying to make an admittedly lame joke?  Do you feel
that everyone's grandmother needs to be told how to suck eggs???

A polite but firm "please take me off your list" along with filling out and
mailing the "do not call" and "do not mail" forms available at
http://www.the-dma.org  works far better than any technological solution.
Better yet, it costs next to nothing and is good for at least five years.
In my own case, I have not had a single call or piece of junk mail in more
than three months.

I suppose you'll take issue with my use of the term "junk mail"  now???
