I'm not the only one then. I just throw their letters in the bin unopened these days. I've not had a TV for over 10 years, but have been sent streams of threatening letters accusing me of being a criminal and lying to them. Very offensive. There is nowhere on the form to put "I don't have a ***ing TV". What is the correlation between using Linux and not having a TV then? Must be high on this group.
