I hate SPAM with a vengeance, but complaining about it rarely stops it or even
slows it down.

It DOES annoy many of us - if you get HUNDREDS of emails a day like I do
(1-700/day at work, 1-300 at home), spam gets pretty annoying.  But it's still a
low percentage of my email (5-10/day, probably).

That is what the Delete key is for ;-)

Todd, what policies are you considering?

Personally, I wouldn't mind being spammed with cheap Lego ads *cough,
cough*. Much better than "make money over night" or "send this email to 10
people and win $1000" and "Reverse the aging process with so-and-so's
whatshamawhozit"...

Always lookin' for a bargain...

I agree, I'm getting tired of a certain amount of the population spewing off
whenever they get an unwanted request.  I can only imagine that these peoples
neighbors must go nuts listening to these people checking their mailboxes each
night and going into a screaming tantrum because of the junk mail they have
received.  Of course there is also the variation of "I got on the highway and
EVERYONE ELSE was clogging it up" or "I went to MY favorite store and EVERYONE
ELSE bought all the new sets."  I've been guilty of this myself before and
have repented.  This is the cost of living in civilization folks, people who
refuse this price have a name: hermits.  Choose your camp then get into it.
