In his book "Always Bear Left" (recommended reading), Ken Cooper makes an
interesting suggestion re Junk Mail.

Whenever you subscribe to any service - e.g. magazine, club, association -
use a different middle initial.  Keep track of which initial belongs to
which subscription.  If you receive junk mail with one of the phony middle
initials, you then know who gave out your name.  You can then write a letter
to the source of your problems DEMANDING that your name not be given out.

GREAT IDEA.  Thanx to Ken!!
