I Get Mail 2

I can deal with the credit card offers, Publishers Clearinghouse, even Sweepstakes Clearinghouse. It’s harder for me to deal with the weekly deluge of coupon booklets, but, as they are on newsprint, I can at least recycle them.

But junk like this just makes me want to throw up.

I won’t even take the time to deconstruct the lies, half-truths, mispresentations, and delusional thinking represented in this missive.

I would have written, “Return to Sender” on the envelope, but, as it was sent last class mail, rather than first class, it would not have been returned.

All I can do is discard it and say, in the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, “He don’t know me vewy well, do he?”

    If you haven’t destroyed it yet, save the envelope. Enclose a copy of a donation receipt from some liberal organization, & put the 1600 Penn Ave address on it. You won’t get anymore.

    Damn. Wish I’d thought of that. And I got a nice handwritten thank you from Raw Story for my measly little donation yesterday.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
