The government comes through again ?!

I received yet another catalog from Eyewire today, in spite of my half-dozen faxes plus one voice call politely requesting to be removed from their list.

But today is a different day, for I’ve discovered a secret weapon, provided to me by the US Supreme Court and made easy to use by the good folks at Junkbusters.

In short, US residents tired of relentless direct-mail marketing can download Form 1500 from the USPS website and submit it via mail with a copy of the offending paper spam attached; the advertiser risks prosecution for sending even one more piece of mail.

I have never in my life, when filling out a form for the federal government, experienced this much joy.
