was at the post office today and saw this:

"We respect your privacy and will never share your email address or phone number with any unauthorized third parties.
We use your contact information to send your transaction confirmation"




which got me to thinking, what is an "unauthorized parties." looked at the fine print and turns out, USPS does sell your info to telemarketers, which they kindly refer to as "call centers":


The Postal Service at times enters into relationships with service providers in order to provide the highest quality product or service. Service providers can include entities that provide assistance for the program, such as a call center, or a partner for the program.

lol, i love it.

The worst spam deluge I have ever gotten was when I signed up for an SBA training class on Veteran owned businesses.  Within minutes of submitting my registration I started receiving over 100 emails a day from every idiot company on earth that wanted to help me sell products to the government.

It tapered off over the last year or so, but I still get 5-10 per week almost 2 years later.
