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.

So, you're saying that by having a house, telephone, email account etc, it
gives everyone else the right to contact me and try to sell me something?

I agree that you can't sensibly object to going shopping and finding it busy,
but you can object to somebody coming up to you in the carpark afterwards and
saying that because you are a shopper and a car driver, you obviously want to
join a bookclub.

Personally, spam doesn't bother me, because it's easy to recycle/delete, but
that doesn't make it ok.
