I put together a web site with the information I’ve learned about refusing unwanted mail.
Refuse Your Mail: You don’t have to take it anymore.
Maybe this will be the start of a huge nationwide trend that’ll make a difference in Postal Service policies and get major media coverage.
Or maybe it’ll just be a cute site only read by me and a couple Random Strangers on the Internet.
(Edited afterward: I did let the refuseyourmail.info domain expire, and it’s now on a subdomain of cooperjr.name.)
Heh, yeah.
I had $.12 of credit in my GoDaddy account for some funky ICANN thing, and .info domains cost $.99, and I had a domain slot at my hosting provider that I wasn’t using, and so once the idea came to me I just couldn’t resist. I’m not sure I’ll renew the domain once my year is up, though.
The pinball machine works great, except for the shaker-motor that’s supposed to shake the thing during multiball.
And yes, adding forums, blogs, and advertising might happen if I have time to work on it.
The piece of info that important mail may not be sent standard rate is useful. I won’t start refusing mail any time soon, but with that info I’ll be more willing to throw out standard-rate mail without opening it.
