messageWe blogged about Steve over at our blog last week.
Glad to see that the community has pulled together for him.

I just read the updated post too. We might not have solved the problem of junk mail single-handedly, but at least we made a pretty awesome statement.
Thanks for your support.

Joe:
Solving the problem of unsolicited mail is a two way street – consumers need to set their preferences and companies need to honor them.
Mailman Steve made a huge statement as the “delivery guy”, but unfortunately he was not following the rules. He is good to see that the community has stepped up for Steve so he does not have to bear the burden of the fine.
Our service is funded by Foundations who have given us a mandate to connect companies and consumers to stop unwanted mail. It is a huge problem that will take time to fix. We believe that our approach is sound and we know progress is being made.
It is a tipping point topic. With 1 million consumers and 350 companies, we are on our way. Thanks
