I don't mind getting an occasional E-mail from Amazon, but just recently I've been getting a crapload of e-mails "recommending" a purchase based on an item i've ordered in the past. Practically every CD/DVD I've ever ordered from them in the past year has generated an e-mail recommending I should buy another CD/DVD. I think I got about 10 of them today alone.

Login to your Amazon.com account, and change your mail preferences so you don't receive these emails.

I recently also started receiving their movie times emails... But it's easy enough to remove yourself from those mailings.

Just think, with the time and energy spent complaining about it here, you could have easily removed yourself from the list.
