Re dealing with junk mail:

1) Tear up all the stuff with your name or address on it.

2) Stuff the remaining stuff into the reply-paid envelope. You'll
   probably have to fold it, since the mailers are careful to ensure
   that only the right stuff fits the envelope. Mail it back to them.

Questions:

1) Can they trace you by those funny little bar codes on the envelopes?

2) Does this kind of action have any effect apart from further clogging
   the mail system?

Wasting my life away looking for important mail, I remain,
