Yeah, once it starts, junk mail is forever. I still get junk mail at my parents' house, where I haven't lived since 1979!

@Rod - I use the Paper Karma app and it has reduced the junk mail very considerably. Because these people sell/buy distribution lists, nipping it in the bud prevents further "propagation." Some days I don't get any mail at all.

I remember back in the early grades in school we'd exchange valentines. Pleasant memory. This story was not pleasant.
