Replying to a message of Dave Drum to Bob Ackley:

 DD> Good luck with that. When Conde-Nast shut down my favourite cooking
 DD> magazine (Gourmet) last year I was given a subscription to Bon Apetit
 DD> - a magazine that I subscribed to for one year - once - and
 DD> determined never to waste my money on, ever again. Now I am getting
 DD> "special offer" mailing to get me to re-up the unwanted
subscription.
 DD> After removing any personally identifiable material from these I
 DD> stuff them into postage paid envelopes from Chase credit card offers,
 DD> insurance offers, etc. and forward them on.

 DD> This is done in a effort to save my trash collectors a hernia.   Bv)=

Plus the junk mailer(s) get dinged for the postage.  Years ago one local fellow
here suggested putting all kinds of cr*p in those postpaid return envelopes so
they'd get dinged for *extra* postage.
