I have been watching the comments on this issue. 

There was no problem with the fact that I received yet another large
envelope;  The problem I had was with the reference to the fact that
I ATTENDED the recent Dallas USENIX and was INTERESTED and REQUESTED the
literature that was contained therein.  I did not go to Dallas this time around!
This type of JUNK ended up right where it belonged...  the circular file :-)
