Sorry about this folks - we'll make it more explicit :(. Also would love to find out which countries you're from & how bad the junk mail problem is over there. thx.


here in germany you just put a little "Keine Werbung" (no advertisements) sticker on your mailbox and thats it. the bundesgerichtshof has a judgement dating back to 1988[1] stating that violation of this consitutes a violation of your basic rights. if a company disobeyes this you can basically send them a cease&desist and if they dont stop you can claim damages. (but beware IANAL ;))

It's just as bad in the UK, if not worse...
