" Your brother-in-law sends out a lengthy newsletter every year, bragging about things like his job, a new car, and his kids&amp;#039; straight As. You find it so annoying. How to tell him you want to be removed from his mailing list?  1) You don&amp;#039;t. If your brother-in-law&amp;#039;s letters bother you so much, just don&amp;#039;t read them. 2) The next time you see him, say, &amp;quot;Oh, I recently received another one of your modest newsletters.&amp;quot; Then hope he picks up the hint. 3) Ask your sister to strike you from the mailing list. The correct answer: (1) If your brother-in-law&amp;#039;s newsletter irks you so much, just toss it and let it go. Saying something to him could turn this situation into a big issue, possibly causing a family rift. But you are not alone in your feelings about such newsletters. In my recent online survey, nearly half of the respondents said they dislike newsletters. But when written with wit, brevity, and humility, newsletters can be an effective way of keeping far-flung friends and relatives up-to-date. However, close friends and relatives usually prefer a brief, warm, hand-written note. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
