Did it have a reply-paid envelope included? If it did, you can seriously
abuse it - tape it to something roughly envelope-shaped but quite heavy, and
post it to them. They'll have to pay for the weight of your attached item,
and if a few folks do this, it might dissuade them.
Incidentally, this is a great way to get rid of all the postal spam that you
get if a "friend" thinks it's funny to subscribe you to a Readers Digest
mailing list!
