xradioguyfrank, that is exactly what I do--ignore all advertisements on TV, radios, eons, magazines and I do throw away all the junk mail from AARP but still think it is a waste of AARP money to keep sending all of it to me. I have not responded in the 19 years I have belonged and now I no longer belong I still get junk mail from AARP.
Decided not to join this year because of money not politics.
The AARP clowns are really dense. As if they have not understood that I regularly RECYCLE their worthless Junk mail for years now, they sent me another one yesterday, and I noticed they have been forced to increase their subscription from $12.50 to $16..I would not even join them for $1.00!
seems to me wellinformed is not so well informed after all.
I agree with Loko...........if Wellinformed recycles their mail he obviously reads it first. I dont even open mail that does not interest me. Or here's a thought, put it back in the mail return to sender if you really want to make a statement. Otherwise, those who need help from them seem to get it and thats the point is it not?
"seems to me wellinformed is not so well informed after all."
appearances deceive. Prove it. I am quite well in formed in all that MATTERS to me. De minimis non curat lex, you know.
"I agree with Loko...........if Wellinformed recycles their mail he obviously reads it first."
another absurd sentence. I frequently recycle it without opening, especially if there is some text on the envelope that lets me know almost exactly what worthless content is inside. My mailbox and my recycling bins are both in the garage, and many AARP BS mailings never make it to the rest of my home.
"Or here's a thought, put it back in the mail return to sender if you really want to make a statement. "
I did better than that. I have actually replied and gave them (AARP and other Junk mailers) a piece of my mouth at times. I once had a subcrrption, using only a handful of frequent flier miles, on a rag called "New York Observer" It is a weekly POS printed on pink paper (perhaps appropriately). Apart from some detailed views of some super-expensive $50 million penthouses in NYC, the rest of it was quite uninteresting. At the end of the year, when the subscription expired, the clueless editors offered me to continue to get it if I paid a very small subscription, and to ... convince me, they mentioned some extreme-leftie nut, a hate-filled clown called Joe Conason, who is a regular op-ed writer there.
I wrote to them in the postage paid bill replying that it is precicely such contemptible scum of the Earth as COnason that made me decide that I will never subsribe to that rag with my own $!
"Otherwise, those who need help from them seem to get it and thats (SIC) the point is it not?"
I am not interested in this racket, and whoever believes they are of any help to them. If my experience did not convince everybody about who they really are, too bad. My time is valuable.
I meant "a piece of my mind", not.. "mouth", above. Happens when I type too fast..
The point Espirit was making is to make them pay the return postage! You gave a piece of your mind to some part timer who could give a crap less about you piece of drivel. It probably went into the circular file after the first few words. Probably, when they noticed there wasn't a check enclosed!

ha ha ha ...loko...you are a scamp.
Wellinformed, I have to agree; I toss lots of mail without opening it. I have only one credit card, and if something comes from any other one, off to the burn barrel. Anything that I can recycle locally I do, but there isn't much paper recycling going on here other than newspaper, which I use to start the woodstove.
I do however peruse the catalogs as I find them entertaining.
