Stop it with your catalogs already

I am now recycling up to ten pounds of catalogs each week. I don't order from catalogs, I order online. When will you realize that your catalog is antagonizing me, not causing me to buy more? It's wasting your money and my time. If I buy something it does not mean I want more catalogs. It means your message has resonated with me and I want no more catalogs.

The biggest offenders: Lands End, Pottery Barn, Bike Nashbar, Performance Bike, Road Runner Sports, Williams Sonoma...

Many catalogs now have information on how to recycle. How about information on how I can ask you to stop sending me catalogs? At this point, snail mail gets even more spam than e-mail.
