A Co-Inky-Dinky?

Earlier this year the South was hit by a tornado outbreak during Holy Week. As I was watching the coverage of the disaster I saw the Salvation Army pulling up to set up shop to help the victims. GREAT! I wrote them a check. THEN.......... I started getting gobs and gobs of "snail mail" from various charities, all begging for my money. None of these charities were ones I had ever donated to, or even contacted, before. Plus, my ration of junk -- ahem, business bulk -- mail from the Salvation Army has been enough to wallpaper every house in my neighborhood. All since I wrote that check out in May. It may be purely a co-inky-dinky that I just started getting all of these never-before-contacted charities killing trees to beg me for money since then; however, the more logical theory is that someone sold/shared their donors list to/with other organizations. Whatever the case....I'm not very pleased. This isn't true anymore:
