		<description>Sandra, one good thing that will probably come out of this otherwise horrific economic meltdown is that a lot of catalog mailers will be forced out of business.  Unfortunately their employees will then be jobless, and none of us will have any money to buy their products anyway...but at least their assaults on the environment will end.</description>

		<description>I just finished &quot;opting out&quot; of over three dozen catalogs received in the last week and a half.  I have received The Potpourri, North Style, The Pyramid Connection, Young Explorers, and Catalog Favorites, all from the Potpourri &quot;family&quot;, which is supposedly participating in the Catalog Choice program, sometimes more than one each.  I have received Auto Sport and Vermont Country Store (another participant) and Acorn (also participating, I think), the last with the same name and customer number as when I opted out months ago.  I have received numerous catalogs I&#039;m sure I never heard of before.

I dutifully report continued receipt of each one.  I call those that aren&#039;t on CC&#039;s list or who refuse to participate or who keep sending catalogs.  But &quot;frustrating&quot; doesn&#039;t begin to describe my feelings.  Murderously angry is more like it.  My home is being invaded and my planet trashed so these people can send me junk mail -- big, bulky junk mail.  Some even printed on 85% post-consumer recycled paper.  I don&#039;t care.  I didn&#039;t ask for it, and I want it to stop!

I do appreciate Catalog Choice telling me what &quot;family&quot; of catalogs each one comes from, and whether they are participating in the program.  It helps me understand the scope of the problem.  
This is a huge industry.   It should be shut down or regulated.  We need a law (one that is enforced) to restrict the number of catalogs, e-mail messages, and phone calls that can be sent without an opt-in request.  Voluntary participation is never going to do the job.</description>

		<description>Lucky Jonny! I continue to drown in catalogs. Catalogs I have no conceivable interest in; catalogs I have already rejected--they change my name or my customer number and just send me another one. I am so frustrated I could cry. It&#039;s not that I want to opt out of everything and never order from a catalog again. But I&#039;m afraid that if I order one little thing from anybody, I&#039;ll just get truckloads more stupid catalogs.</description>
