Occupant’s defense of junk mail

Re: David Lazarus’ consumer column “Tossing out junk mail’s defense,” April 8:

I thought it ironic that the first two paragraphs answered the question at the end. Count me as one of those people who appreciate getting direct-mail solicitations.

Like Marcy Clarke, I dump most of mine too. But like her, every once in a while I happen upon something that’s interesting.

And, really, how hard is it to toss a piece of unwanted mail, or hit the delete button for unwanted e-mail? Not at all.
