And maybe that's the reason (combined with low effectiveness of even
'well targeted' direct mail?) that we nowadays get those unsolicited
phone calls 'do you have a minute?'. they are _really_ annoying.

in an envelope and mail it to me' they say: 'no, out of principle,
we never send something...'. oh well..
