Oh, you can bet your back on it without the risk of only working while
lying or standing.

Much other junk I see comes from people subscribing me to newsletters I
do not want where the newsletter doesn't use verified opt-in. Running
newsletters without verified opt-in should be made a crime with 1 year
minimum sentence and 10 years max, I'd report five newsletter operators
offhand for spamming.

OTOH, such news letters will likely be on some DNSBL, I only never
bothered to check.
