Ya all can expect me to be internationally wanted on tv for not reading my mail. A dangerous suspect was seen on the border of Mexico with a bag full of unread mail. It is advised to not approach that person and inform post office immediately.
I let it overflow out my mailbox for years
my neighbor thought I was a squatter
No regrets
I hate junk mail but sadly all those wasted resources are the only thing keeping the post office afloat.

Kind of feel about that about software updates.
I used to have a personal project site that ran Drupal. I don't know how things are now, but back then, every module could be updated automatically, except for the Drupal Core itself which had to be updated manually.
The one time I went "oh shit, a core update - nah, I can leave it after the weekend", the site got hosed by malware.
(It's a Jekyll site now. Drupal was a bit of overkill for it anyways.)
So you're saying good advertisements should be a single sheet of typewritten thin cheap paper in a brown envelope?
(to be fair, some "advertisers" already do that, to the point of impersonating the courts!)
