Belton, TX | such bs Man this is such bs - For the record I will say that if your getting spammed its your own damn fault. Your inbox CAN be configured to BLOCK all emails other than from approved lists and addresses via plenty of freeware and configurations. No one is attacking telemarketers when they "hide" their return numbers to get you on the phone and no one is slamming major credit card companies for mailing me hundred of "Your approved for this credit card" crap in my mail at home per year or car companies who are doing the same sh*t about get this car for nothing!!! So why is the government and media pressing this issue about spammers, because people are too stupid to realize that they have tools they can use to solve it???? I don't understand why in today's world spam is even a crime. Hey I got something to sell, wanna see what it is? I hate to break it to you but in this world everyone needs money and as a result you are either working for someone or working for yourself and if spam is the easiest way to work for yourself and make big dollars so be it. You are not gonna feed your family off love. I also want to point out and clarify what "I" define as spam. Commercial e-mail either solicited or unsolicited, that is propegated by misleading and un clearly defined subject lines and headers. Meaning that the subject misleads the user into opening mail and the content of the "opened mail" is unrelated to the subject or heading. As long as mails come to me with a clearly defined point and subject that is relevant to the mail then by default it should not be considered spam. But then again if you don't email me from my website and get a specific subject line, or your not in my approved lists then your not getting in my inbox anyways. Go find some drug dealers and rapists leave this guy alone, there are bigger problems to deal with in the world. |

The big point is that spammers via email consume the resources of other people in order to send their email.
For flyers or drops done to your home via the postal service they are actually paying to have it delivered. That is why it is such a big deal.
Sure, send me all the marketing you want, I welcome it. But, once it starts costing others to distribute it for you, but that which you are not footing the bill for, then I have a problem.

Wichita, KS | Then how do you explain an email address that has never been given out to any company and is known only to a select few that hate spam like I do, all of a sudden getting about 100 spams a day?

Just because there are plenty of ways to stop spam from entering your inbox that doesn't validate the spammer. To be honest I'm not all that upset about some email advertising. After all advertisers have to promote product and their clients need to sell their wares. However there is a big difference between a spammer that is honest in their solicitations and actually follows through with the "opt out" promise and spammers like Alan Ralsky. If we didn't have so many emails trying to sneak by illegitimate means I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be seeing this much outrage. |

I mean, if you leave your car in your garage and never leave your house you won't get in a traffic collision with an uninsured motorist either.... But that's hardly a solution!
