But surely they have more influence with government than I do. After all,
they were the ones that opposed the original recommendation that selling the
list should be banned altogether. They managed also to delay the opt out
boxes for another year by not being able to agree on suitable wording. I
prefer to use a more direct route to my MP, rather than trying to get an
appointment or hoping he'll read my letters. If a massive majority of us opt
out when completing the ER form, the list will be less attractive to
marketers and maybe that will lead to its demise as a junk mail list source.
