Regarding Hiding From the Man
You can't hide from the man, man. He will track you and curse you all your life even if you bug out completely to the middle of the Amazon, he will chop it down to find you and sell you a magazine you don't want, need, read or care for. Getting off mailing lists is like
peeling dead skin off your feet. It is hard, painful and in the main fruitless. One favorite trick of mine for returning junk mail is to put all the crud they send you into the return envelope and mail it with no postage paid and the senders address on the back as well as a return address so that they get the crud back and are up for the postage. This is best if it is really shonky crud mail from far overseas.Include messages pointing out that you do not wish to be included in their mailing list.
Also, don't buy raffle tickets, the book stubs end up as someone elses mailing list. Use a false middle initial to prove this to yourself. The man is thourough. He will find you.
Resistance is useless fun.
