I've started unsubscribing to all the email lists I either signed up for or got signed up to by buying something from some website. I generally do this once or twice a year and it seems like the last couple of years it's been twice. If this keeps up it'll be a quarterly thing(or monthly).
With the arrival of the holiday season it just gets worse and worser. And the catalogs in the mail! When will merchants realize that just because I bought something from them years ago and nothing since they're wasting their money sending me a printed catalog? Geez, Louise! Wake up and smell that there's no coffee brewing!
And lets not forget the non-profits, if they'd spend the money on their causes that they spend sending me letters begging for more money along with return address stickers, note cards and calendars my guess is that they'd be ahead of the game. I already gave them money and I'll give them more next year, isn't that good enough? Why do they badger me and shower me with gifts I never asked for and don't need in the hope that I'll be among the fraction of a percent of their faithful that'll throw some more cash their way? I contributed to the cause for the simple reason I thought it was worthy, I didn't need to be bribed. You do something I think is a Good Thing, don't punish me for helping you.
OK, got that off my chest and the soapbox stowed away.
Am I alone in this? What do you think?
