The problem is that it's not 4 messages a month, it's been 3 or 4 in 
the last week, and people have REPEATEDLY stated how to get off the list.
And what's worse is that when one person makes such a request, it's
usually followed by 3-10 more requests despite postings telling people
how to remove themselves.  Can't people read? No... that's Hahvahd.... 
I'm sorry I forgot....

Sure I can hit the delete button, and I can do it for florey junk mail, 
ai junk mail, random lists I'm only tangentially interested in junk mail, 
junk junk mail, etc.etc.  It all adds up.  Furthermore, at least to reuse,
it's not just one piece of mail in my box, it's one piece of mail in 500
people's boxes......  That's 500 deletes that people had to make.  Followed
by 500 more.  so that's been 2000 this week alone.  That's an awful lot of
presses of the 'd' key.  I surprised they aren't the first keys to break.
