It's a waste to us all, because 90% of it goes to our limited landfill space and it's all our common resources used to make it. But it is also a waste for the postal workers who could be doing better things with their time (and still get paid for something a bit more meaningful).
I think the Kamaaina and other box inserts often don't pay 'postage', exactly. They drop off a bulk bundle of printed materials and just pay the post office to disperse it from their floor. Not what I'd consider postage since it's not using the postal service to send things from their place to each of our boxes. More like bribe money to get them to hand out their garbage.
Eight Fingers, you sound like a good Monkey Wrencher, gumming up the works in a randomly chaotic way. I like it. But I don't think that would stop the junk from coming, which is ultimately what I want.
That earlier site mentioned didn't look like it would do much. They have a specific list of a bunch of companies that spam and you can specifically list ones to stop. But We're spammed by local companies that aren't on that list.
