What's worse they continue sending the crap even to existing customers who are already with VM, or those who've just left because of pathetically poor service.
Two points here.

1. This is un-addressed, general mail-shots. They cannot easily only post to specific addresses.

2. Any specifically-addressed mail is sent because you have (had) a previous relationship with the company. However, you can easily stop these by asking the company do remove you from their mailing database. This applies to any company.

So I really think just pointing the finger at VM is a bit much.Everyone is doing it and I'm sick of it..
Which, of course, was exactly the point I was making. Yet, as usual, I get shouted down for it.

Of course, round here I put all this paper into my bi-monthly re-recyclable waste collection
