I have a simple but effective method to deal with junkmailers in the UK.
Just take their usually handily provided return addressed envelope
firmly attach it to a 'jiffy' (padded envelope) bag (free from your work stationary cupboard)
enclose one household BRICK and one fresh banana skin
take it to the post office and put it in the delivery area.
Since in the UK the Post Office is obliged to delivery post regardless of the content then the recipient gets a nice big brick and (by the time it gets there) mouldy banana skin, both of which they have the priveledge of paying the huge excess postage for.
If you want you can enclose some helpful detail on why marketing is a Bad Thing.
Anyone have any comments? Its worked for me.
NB: the views of the poster may or may not be applicable in other countries... check with your postage organisation first.
In any case.. I don't advise doing this with items that have your name on them unless you'd like a personal response from the sender.

A nice little folk song, and dance comprising a lot of foot stamping and jerking, as I remember its supposed to symbolise the actions a person makes when bitten by a tarrantula.

I suggest a nice fuzzy non-spider logo as those creepy little things give me the shivers.
Just think.. you're at a major conference with your team walking round with your pre-infected Palm's. What a nice way to get your advertising onto everyone else's machine. Yeah Ok its not going to be conducive to your companies rep.. or is it?
"IHV" means an independent hardware vendor that develops hardware to be included in or used with a personal computer that includes an Intel x86 or compatible microprocessor. [1] [1] This change ensures that hardware vendors, particularly those with access to Microsoft's source code under Section 3.b, are manufacturing hardware that is used with "operating systems for Intel-compatible PCs," the market defined by the Court.
Interestingly they have added a limiation that puts Alpha (and other) based systems completely out of the picture.
Now for the true connoisuer of gaming I recommend Amber. No dice. Admittedly sometimes this is risky. And having walked into the Broken Drum and knocked Detritus through the roof with one punch, perhaps a bit uncontrolled, but fun.
Trust me.. having seen the thing in 1989 I can only say that Lucas must have been drunk to have even thought of doing this thing. It has true 'cringe' appeal, one of those shows where you're not embarrased at watching it, you're embarrased for the actors.
It would see that even mentioning Scientology is the best way to get your site canned.
Although I think the award winner has to go to that wonderful penet.fi anonymous mail fowarder who as I remember got his entire server seized by the local police after intervention by the Scientology rumour-killer teams. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I remember reading a long time ago that 'H' himself disassociated himself from the people who run the organisation.

So TSR didn't want to go ahead with anything but a quality product! HA! HA! HA!
.. "oh you do that game like they show in the cartoons on Saturday morning Kids Hour. grin."
Obviously they weren't thinking of quality product when they authorised that D&D cartoon a few years ago.
As a role-game-player all I ever got was
