ZIP codes are for advertising targeting -- if they find they're getting a whole bunch of people from 12345, they'll start advertising there. That's never bothered me. If they'll add their flyers (usually with coupons) to the usual collection of grocery stores I don't shop at and replacement windows that do a renter no good at all that clutter up snailboxes in my area, I'm cool with that.
The ones that really peeve me (aside from the OP who accused Webscriptions of a whole bunch of things they don't even do) are the places that try to get me to sign up for Facebook. No, I'm not a member of Facebook. I don't want to be a member of Facebook. As much as I want your concert schedule, I don't want it enough to become a member of Facebook. And if you're one of those companies that shoves a pop-up in my face trying to get me to join Facebook so I can ... well, I have no clue, because I just cursed you and your descendants unto the seventh generation as I was leaving your website. Have I mentioned I'm not a member of Facebook?
