Drifting off topic somewhat, I seem to receive paper junk mail (usually

I still receive junk mail.

Join the Mail Preference Service - it cuts out spam from 'respectable' 
companies which does include all VISA and Access members.

The only junk mail I've had since joining is:
1. The stuff that comes with the free advertising rag
2. 'Delivered by hand'
3. 'Addressee unknown'

My daily mail has dropped from 6-8 to 1-2.

I'm considering creating an Open Source Software promotional flyer and
sending them in the pre-paid envelopes. We could promote GNU/Linux for
free!

(If you find a free source of paper and inkjet cartridges, I'd love to know!)

You won't reach decision makers though, just the helpdesk bots.
