[This is a message from a privacy group that I belong
to. I entered some information, and the Web site listed below
generated four letters to reduce our junk mail. This has been
pretty successful for me in the past, but my wife is still receiving junk
mail addressed to her maiden name, so I generated letters to reduce this
junk mail, as well.]
I've just stumbled across the single most useful online tool I've seen
for easing junk mail and spam! By visiting the following URL and entering
your name and mailing address, you can auto-generate letters including
that information, along with any additional required stuff form
individual companies, into printable letters directly from your browser
that provide mailing addresses to dozens of marketing, credit reporting
and other organizations preconfigured and merged into a personalized
letter from yourself to those companies and organizations requesting to
opt-out from junkmail! In ten clicks of the "next form" letter,
I was able to request removal from a raft of lists and it's possible to
do more if you like by returning and choosing different companies from
the online form!
The site is a joint project with Center for a New American Dream, and the
Center For Democracy in Technology cooperatively using technology to
better facilitate Operation Opt-Out. I love it!
If I could generate automated labels to affix to my envelopes and online
postage, I'd call the tool remarkable! I will stop short of that and say
this is extremely useful. ;-)
