No no no, it doesn't work. A friend who works for the post office tells
me that they just throw away all Business Reply Bricks. However, you
*can* stick a heavy piece of sheet metal in the envelope.

But if you REALLY want to be taken off mailing lists, write to:

	Direct Mail/Marketing Association
	6 East 43rd Street
	New York, NY 10017

They will send you a form that will, in fact, get your name removed
from some (but not all) mailing lists.
