I couldn't care less about what most folks in the US use, but I still get
their junk mail, whereas all junk I get via snailmail is at least domestic.

Besides, there are a lot of people who put "no ads wanted" stickers on their
doors, and I trust that those work. I don't mind the junk mail, though, since
I find it relevant (it's mostly news from local grocery stores).

They're putting in Ethernet in my wall on Tuesday, though. That doens't mean
that I'm about to begin sending 500Kb JPEGs along with every email message I
write.
