Wow, I totally empathisize - my very first donation (I had recently graduated) was to Pride. They then called me 3 times in 1 month, each time I asked to be removed from their calling list. Last time I threatened legal action.

Now it's surveys. I took a couple, in fits of being flattered at being asked. Now they are surveying me once a week or more. I'm gonna have to ask to be removed.

It seems a matter of degrees - one polite call or thank you note a year would be well-recieved. 10 such a week becomes overwhelming.
