and the shut-in upstairs who never visits the mail room might be
glad to learn about a new place to order out delivery.
So they're welcome to invite menus to be placed under their door, say
by a sign they put on their own door. I'm still willing to have
anyone who puts a menu under _my_ door arrested.
Perhaps interestingly, in my city (Montreal), there is a way to opt out
of the "shove under your door" type flyers - which, here, normally go
in the mailbox. (We don't have the "postal service owns your mailbox"
paradigm the USA does.) It takes the form of a city-standardized
sticker to be put on your mailbox.
Yes, it's opt-out, not opt-in, but - like DNC lists - it's standardized
and single-action-for-all-senders, by fiat of applicable government.
And that it is present at all has something significant to say about
(local) public attitudes towards such material - even in the face of
the (much larger than email spam) sender costs and the limiting effects
they bring.
