Sorry about this folks - we'll make it more explicit :(. Also would love to find out which countries you're from & how bad the junk mail problem is over there. thx.
American living in the UK here...
It's just as bad in the UK, if not worse...
Take my money!
here in germany you just put a little "Keine Werbung" (no advertisements) sticker on your mailbox and thats it. the bundesgerichtshof has a judgement dating back to 1988[1] stating that violation of this consitutes a violation of your basic rights. if a company disobeyes this you can basically send them a cease&desist and if they dont stop you can claim damages. (but beware IANAL ;))
