Let's Stop Junk Mail

My understanding is that any ban or restriction on junk mail would have to be put in place by U.S. Congress since direct mail goes through the U.S. Postal Service.

However, I believe a popular movement to put a “No Junk Mail” or “Addressed Mail Only” sticker on our mailboxes might be a good place to start a grassroots effort to make it stop.

The Dutch have a solution for this issue that starts with a mailbox sticker, and the requirement that mail carriers abide by the rules:

• Ja-Ja = yes, deliver unaddressed bulk mail and yes, addressed bulk mail
• Nee-Ja = no, don't deliver unaddressed bulk mail, but yes, deliver addressed bulk mail
• Nee-Nee = no, don't deliver unaddressed bulk mail, and no, don't deliver addressed bulk mail

Blogging Tip: Initial Capital

Today I am trying to learn how to post with an initial capital letter. Apparently it does work. Now I feel like I'm really publishing something.

C# Code Formatting

Yes! I managed to find a way to format code for my blog.

Thanks to manoli.net

Here is how it turned out:

   1:  /*************************************************

   2:  * This sample illustrates how to use an ArrayList 

   3:  * and a foreach loop.

   6:  using System;

  14:          ArrayList fruit = new ArrayList();
