(and I DON`T mean Shoulder Pork And Meat!)

Is anybody as fed up as I am with the epidemic proportions of junk mail and spam being sent to us all on a daily basis. Use of filters and software has stopped a lot of junk e-mails (though some still insidiously bombard us) but I estimate I get at least 5 pieces of unsolicited mail through the post per day.

Does anybody think this is a good idea, or even legal? Simply take all the stuff from one junk letter and put it into a `reply paid free envelope` from another junk letter, and repeat the process until all your junk mail is used up. If we all did this, for example, people who offer horse racing tips (who obviously must be able to see into the future) could soon be receiving, in the envelopes in which themselves sent out, details of business schemes, sex-aids, herbs and pills, pine furniture, car washing facilities, menus for ethnic restaurants, stamps and coins, etc etc, and all the other senders could also receive lots of stuff!!! :wah:

I've read about that before. They suggest that when you send one company another company's junk mail, that you take out any page containing your name and address.

The only solution I can think of is to get a MAC computer. We get very little junk mail..........never any popu-ps. I was borrowing my son's PC for about 5 months and went nuts with the pop-ups!

xxxxxoooooo

Thanks Peg that`s an important piece of advice!

My understanding

the best way to deal with spam and junk is delete it. As soon as you tamper with it, they compute a living soul on your end and you get way more.

I dunno maybe an urban legend.

Delete it.
