snail mail spam

...formerly known as 'junk mail'.  This was part of a message (from a UK
computer programmer) on the uk-scrabble list today.  Is it a one-off?

quoted bit:
While checking my account details I noticed that Yahoo! believe that I
live in Seattle.  Perhaps I ought to have let them send me snail mail
spam.
