I could smell it, but quite frankly, I'm too lazy to research it to find out for sure - good post. Lotta effort.

Long time ago, I was sent mail, from Greenpeace, asking for donations, I wrote them back, and asked them to stop mailing me, asking me for money, That really brought them into the mailbox...apparently I needed to send them a "registered letter" ($$) to prove that I had requested, of them, to 'cease and desist'...'guerilla' tactics against people they want money from...something about the words "No respect" comes to mind... (as did someone {Who? was in Charge of greenpeace? back then?...rhetorical Q!) else 'come to mind' (at that time) but that's 'nother story alllllllll-together!)

Spent time thinking bout this one, cause I recall that their activity bothered me, lots, and I remember why now, it is how they got my mailing address, I had given it to them when I had donated money to them, $20 or $25 dollars, and what is written above is what followd their reciept of my money/DONATION (to them)...I recall it now as I recall that that was one of the things that peeved me so much was that the number/volume of petitions for money, to me, from them, approached easily a mailing cost near (or above/over) what I had given them as Donation, (wasn't difficult to calculate) so they were effectively using my donated money to harrass me for more money, peeved my pretty good, especially after I had specfically requested that they cease and desist completely. (pointed out that value loss thing too)

P.S. Good references Kat

Got this letter this afternoon, though I'd share

Thanks to you, it's working!

I just want to let everyone in the United States know that in spite
of the heightened Orange Alert status across our great land, we have
so far thwarted Al Qaeda terrorism, and we have our lawmakers, our
police forces, and our Homeland Security Agency to thank for it.
Of course, there have been a number of assaults and murders in our
cities. This is not terrorism; this is drug business as usual.
Please do not be alarmed, as crime is expected to rise due to
increasing poverty and suspension of certain government services
which helped the poor. We hope the poor people take advantage of
remaining programs to give them jobs, namely their local Armed
Forces Recruiting Centers. While we use depleted uranium weapons in
order to keep Saddam's and Al Qaeda's nuclear threat away from us, we
still have thousands of sick troops needing to be relpaced by fresh
Americans. Yes, America, we are creating jobs!

I am also proud to report that absolutely no nuclear terrorism has
been launched against the United States by Saddam Hussein's agents.
I hope everyone is eternally thankful that we were fortunate enough
to stop his diabolical plans before he could plan them.

I am aware that there have been some inconveniences. These have been
for the public good. There was a name on a British passenger list
which could have been an Al Qaeda sympathizer, and it turned out to
be a little boy, but for your protection, we canceled two flights.
It is also a small but necessary inconvenience that we have had to
keep some of the subversive Greens Party/Ralph Nader supporters from
boarding airplanes. This is because our protective agencies know
that the Greens members are opposed to the status quo, and as our
President has stated: "If you're not for us, you're a terrorist."
Or maybe it was something else. At least, that's the way it works
at Homeland Security.

These heightened security measures, combined with self-protection
measures such as plastic bags over our heads taped shut with duct
tape, are designed to protect us from the known threats which we
cannot divulge at this time due to national security reasons.
However, they are real threats, as witnessed by the leaked
information of a piece of paper with Arabic letters on it found in an
Arizona desert, proving that Al Qaeda troops are in our country and
on the march. We do not want to alarm you with such information;
whoever leaked it will be shot. (Or sent to Guantanamo for
questioning.)

We want you to keep on traveling, especially by air, keep on watching
CNN, MSNBC, Fox, and other government news sources, and keep on
working more and more hours for less and less money so you can buy
new SUV's and more gasoline to help keep our country great, and our
private country clubs expanding. If you know of anyone who is not
supportive of all of this administration's efforts to secure the
country and the world at all costs, please report him/her to Homeland
Security immediately.

God Bless America!
