Today I received three business card offers from different companies sent to Owner – aka me – of a couple domains I’ve recently registered (one of my little addictions is a small herd of domain names that I tend). Along with a scattering of similar offers over the last couple weeks. Mind you, these domains aren’t business entities in and of themselves (despite the fact that I intend to make a little cash with them). In fact, two of the three domains serve up nothing but a page of gibberish placeholder text right now.
And as far as my little brain can figure, there’s no way I can stop these from coming. To opt out, I need to provide my name, social security number, date of birth, blood sample, etc. to the pre-screen opt-out site — ‘Owner, SomeRandomDomain.com‘ doesn’t have a social security number, date of birth, etc. to provide them. If you know of some way, I’d really appreciate it if you could please pass it on to me! But I think it’d be a pointless act anyway — every domain I register in the future will likely receive the same junk. And I don’t forsee me quitting the domain name collection addiction anytime soon.
And to think, I was enjoying not having to shred my mail daily…
