Anyway, my point is this: I asked my mailman ( we shoot the sh*t on a regular basis) if he could quit leaving that stuff for me. He laughed and said no can do, this is where the USPS makes their money. He said the USPS is investing over 2 Billion dollars in new machines/technology to further automate the junk mail process.
Guess that $ has to come from somewhere eh 'zoner? I had no idea your industry was such a large chunk of the USPS revenue stream.

I respect the fact that you don't want that stuff in your mailbox,however,I've never understood why someone wouldn't want a buy 1 get 1 free meal.My publication(although junk mail to some) is full of local business offers and not that get your pictures developed,have you seen this missing child stuff.
As for you not wanting it I'd call the companies mailing it to you,we are more than happy to remove an address if requested to do so.
Lastly,the USPS keeps hiking postage and small direct mailers like me are going to have to say goodbye and they're going to lose a major chunk of that revenue.
