I got the same Journal. I don't really understand your perturbation. In
your signature, you posted your name and address. So you got junk mail,
is that really a problem? I would get upset about telephone or fax
solicitations, but junk mail is not inappropriate, I get a stack of it
every day that I leave in the trash on the way into my house.
(P.S. Whenever I get a fax solicitor, I call them (on their toll-free number)
and threaten legal action if they don't stop it. Fax paper ain't cheap,
and I don't like running out all the time (the machine won't hold much).)
