How do I make you stop spamming my inbox?

@MrNDUDE16 - Well, I could block you for complaining... would that help?

Haha, being careful about sharing your E-Mail, Chris? No, but on a serious note, I agree with most of the stuff you say. Be careful when "installing" applications on Facebook. A trick might be to have 2 E-Mail accounts and give all of you important contacts like family 1 of your E-Mail addresses. Give spammy websites your 2nd E-mail. I do like getting real cards from relatives for Chrismas/Birthday. The snail mail isn't completely useless, but some parts would be better gone.

Stuff credit card application envelopes with everything they sent you and send them back. I rarely get applications any more.

The Postal Service cried over this video.

GOOGLE VOICE IS AMAZING. I can block unknown or blocked calls (individually). Changed my life.

We also don't pick up the phone if theres a secret number calling.

But 4 years ago we did and it was the police saying my house was on fire.

So will you pick up the phone next?

The USPS will soon go bankrupt because most of their profit is from "commercial" mail. As more people get out of it they are loosing money. Soon there will be a postal museum where kids can see "mail."

I sort of agree with using Facebook in that way, however I really don't really use Facebook much -- I use Twitter much more so I like when I can sign up/login with Twitter, or even better because I am such an avid Google user [now], I like when I can signin with my Google Account.
