The ACM won't stop spamming me. "Your invitation to become a member", they say. Following the unsubscribe instructions doesn't work. Blocking the sending address doesn't work (they keep changing it). I've resorted to blacklisting *@acm.org.

I'm not the only one, either: http://gmplib.org/~tege/acmspam.html http://fries.net/~david/thoughts/ACM_membership_spam.php

I let my membership lapse a several years ago, and they're still sending me _snail mail spam_ to sign up again.
