Center, Univ. of Texas at Austin Lines: 13 When I first posted the 800-number, I might have started the rumour that it MAY be possible to also request that junk-mail is stopped. Alas, to save you useless calls, this is NOT so. For LESS (or MORE) junk by mail, you have to write to: DIRECT MARKETING ASSOCIATION 6 East 43rd Street New York, N.Y. 10017 Now what makes me believe that such a request where I provide my name, address and phone-number will get me OFF any lists, I don't know. The first thing that happens, of course, is that I get ON ANOTHER ONE. )-:
