Uncle Vinny, vanquisher of spam

Gmail and my work email account keep my inbox mostly free of spam, and I don’t get much junk mail via the US Post Office, either. But ever since I’ve lived in Seattle, I’ve been getting these dumb mailers every week… you know, the ones with the Franklin Mint crap and the Safeway crap and the KFCChampionWindowsBartellsOreckVacuum crap…

So! It turns out it’s easy to get off the Seattle Times list, just call 206-652-6587. The RedPlum.com people make it a little harder, but I tracked down that number, too: 888-241-6760.

Yes, this means I won’t be scanning the streets for lost children, and I won’t be alerted to sales on cashews from Rite Aid… but I think I can live with that.
