I wish that was all I got.  I average over 700 a day.  Junk snail mail 
averages less than 4 pieces a day, except on Wednesdays when the sale 
flyers are delivered.  I get zero snail mail for pornography, drugs or 
other nasty things that end up in my email inbox.  Perhaps the reason is 
cost of mailing, but I think it has more to do with potential punishment 
for sending such illegal trash through the US postal service.

Over 50% of spam I receive daily is asian language.  On some days it's 
over 70%.
