Dear HCN,


I think your readers who are complaining about receiving too much junk mail are possibly taking the wrong attitude toward this matter (HCN, 2/1/99). Think positively! I remember hearing about a man who intentionally got his name onto as many catalog mailing lists, etc., as he could. He heated his house with a stove, and instead of chopping wood, he simply had the Postal Service deliver his fuel daily, free of charge.
