Really do not see this as all that revolutionary, but why in the world has no one out there come up with the idea of a spam folder for postal mail? I mean, it’s certainly not like it is not needed! Just look at all of the crap coming to us in our mail boxes these days.

So I ask again, being as there is no means of opting out junk mail outside of credit card offers, why not just skip the middle man and have offers that are not marked a certain way placed into another receptacle? Perhaps this is not really practical, but it sure beats sorting through the junk mail. That and it has worked well enough with our email accounts, might as well give it a try with our postal mail as well.

What is stopping this from working? Simple – easy classification of incoming postal mail. Unless this can be made next to automatic for the postal services of the world, it is unlikely we will ever have any real headway in this area. And so we are apparently left to fend for ourselves in this area.
