I did and you can't.  This is an extremely unhelpful and misleading
comment.  Why didn't *you* give the details?

The post office can do nothing about junk mail.  And my postmaster
did not know about the Direct Marketing Association.  You can write
to them and have your name taken off many (but not all) junk mail lists.

This was discussed in the not unadjacent past in this very newsgroup.
If I get enough requests for details on the DMA I can ferret them out
and post them.
