  1. Is there any way to apply for a USCF license without getting a ton
    of junk mail (USPS spam)? Problem is I have a PO Box and the catalogs
    fill it up.

    The USCF, for their part, appears to think that selling license holder
    addresses is a legitimate way to make money regardless of whether the
    recipient wants to receive it.

    Another problem is the spammers themselves, particularly "Sports
    Authority", who make it impossible to get through to customer support
    and will spam you forever regardless of whether you've asked to opt-out
    or not. Needless to say I will never do business with Sports Authority,
    Oshman's, or whatever other name these scumbags go by.

    But my question to the group is, how to get a license without giving
    the USCF a sellable/spammable address?

    USA Cycling sells their mailing list. It is part of the revenue stream. If
    you are dedicated to the success of the organization, accept the box
    stuffing and get on with your life. If everyone had your attitude, the
    entire Postal system would go out of business, the federal government would
    fail, and the all of the great things that USA Cycling has accomplished
    would be voided. Why, they would have to rehire Lisa just to straighten the
    whole mess out. There is no relationship between great cycling and the mail.
    That has been proven by Discovery.

    Somehow, I doubt the organization would collapse if the mailing list were
    not sold.

    That might not be a bad thing. Of course, it's being driven to failure by
    debt financed wars and tax cuts.

    Ah, the beauty queen. I doubt that she could straighten out Kunich on
    Viagra.

    My mail always seemed to arrive faster when Postal was riding. Must be an
    academic somewhere who can get a grant to study this.

    I'm guessing that if you call the USAC office you can get taken off the
    mail list that is sold to commercial organizations. Also you might try
    changing your account on the USAC web site and edit your profile
    contact Info to check that you don't want email aobut membership
    benefits and offers. I can't remember seeing any commercial junk mail
    and I certainly don;t get any Sports Authority junk mail.
