Someone has too much spare time on their hands... TO put that much effort
in if he had received a faulty product etc, ok, but to spend that much time
over a catalogue once a month!?!?!? WTF? I wish I had enough time to do
that for all the catalogues, magazines and newspapers I get for free.

Probably. But I'd sure like to get Blackhorse Finance to stop sending me
loan offers. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to arrange that.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have an lambda interpretter to debug...

That's slightly different to a catalogue though. Is there really a law that
prevents anyone from putting anything (sensible) in a mailbox if they
haven't been asked to? I guess it's a small price to pay for the
convenience of not having to go to the post office every morning to get your
mail.

The thing is, if that guy gets a catalogue every month from Dell for the
next 20 years, that's about 20 minutes in total he will have to spend
throwing catalogues in the bin. It seems to me like he spent more than 20
minutes just on one phone call, let alone the other phone calls, letters,
web site etc. You have to ask, is it really worth it?

Only in the gravity of the harassment and breach of privacy.

"Harassment" and "breach of privacy" for getting a catalogue you didn't ask
for put in your mail box? You must be joking, surely?

I have "no marketing" -tape on my mail box, so anyone putting a
non-addressed marketing inside is kind of trespassing. That still leaves
the addressed marketing, but if I'll tell some company to stop sending
those, they'll have to stop. Otherwise I can complaint via the
"consumer-officers".

In the USA, the post office boxes are owned by the postal service and
are technically federal property. You're not allowed to put anything in
a mailbox you haven't paid postage on already. That's why you'll
sometimes see a mailbox post with both a mailbox and a separate little
box to put the newspaper delivery in.
Good luck getting stamps to stick to dog poo. :-)

Well, I was objecting to the notion of violation of privacy.
It may be illegal, but what you describe in no way violates privacy.

Maybe not by the strict letter of the law. I was talking colloquially.
