While it would be immensely satisfying to do so, I'm lead to wonder about the possible legalities that may come into play. I have no idea if that doesn't violate some postal regulation somewhere & would never want to encourage anyone to do anything that might violate a law. But if someone *were* to do that on their own initiative, I would not exactly start shedding tears over the plight of the poor junk-mailing companies. :-) (Although my citrus trees seem to be doing very well on the junk-mail compost I feed them! :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com Web: http://www.mcondic.com/ "AG" wrote in message news:G1198.9381$Lv.1128200@news.xtra.co.nz... > > Why wait so long though?
