The fact is that your privacy is nonexsistent anymore. We are hounded day and night (until 9 pm) by telemarketers and 24 hrs a day by e-mail spam.

It should be and may be illegal but it does not matter.

Now what was that penis enlargement website address again? Oh well, I will just wait for the next e-mail about it.

A few minutes of reading about how to set up a good spam filter is worth more than a spam list. I worry about the fact that you have to give the list to the spammers and make sure they don't spam anyone on this golden list.

My hotmail account is uner my Cat's name. Just think of the complex he's getting over viagra since he's be neutered.

My Yahoo email account as a spam filter that generally takes care of 99% of spam messages I get. As far as the phone calls go, I generally don't bother answering the phone calls that come at inconvenient times (I have message bank to deal with that). About the only thing that bothers me is illiterate mail box deliverers. I mean, the words "no junk mail" aren't exactly toothpaste ingredients. Even then, it's only a 15 second walk from my letter box to the rubbish bin.

It really isn't all that difficult to ignore all the "hounding" that goes on.

I have no spam filters and get no spam. My wife would get almost 100 spam on day with her e-mail addy until she changed it. Now she doesn't get any either.

I would like to set something up such that when an email comes to my box the sender is sent a note in return that says you will be charged 1 dollar for this email box to accept an email. And that 1 dollar goes in my PayPal account. Anyone who is in my address book doesn't get charged and if it is from someone I know and is not in my adress book then they will be refunded a dollar. End of spam.

My cousin can no longer work construction due to a bad back. He has a family to feed and in order to make a little extra money, he set up a spam server. Now, he is no longer living paycheck to paycheck. It kind of sheds a little light on spam when it benefits someone you care for.

The ends justify the means, eh? You must really be proud of your cousin. Sad.

I too used to work construction and had to give up my livelyhood to a job related back injury. I found another line of work which did not invlove hogging bandwidth and filling up peoples mailboxes with unwanted correspondence.

Unless you've got Juno or Hotmail, your internet service provider probably gave you at least five email accounts. Use 'em!
Have one that you're careful with, only for friends and family, then when you want to buy something, create one for just that purpose. After the transactions's done, if you want no further correspondence with that company, delete that account. Repeat as needed for any occasion.
