| Canada emerges as haven for spam

Where's the throttle when you actually need it?
"Canadian antispam laws are woefully inadequate and we are rapidly emerging as a haven for spammers eager exploit the weak legal framework." |

| I dont understand how the companies that advertise with spam think they are winning us over in to their products? Who in their right mind thinks that a person is going to buy a product that is jamed in to their inbox 20 times a day, every day.
If anything, it makes me despise them. |

So I click on the star link above and guess what, an unmovable spam link pops up.
Myself, I don't have trouble with spam in my email. Maybe it's because I know how to not get spam. |

I get spam, however, all of the spam is automaticaly filtered in to the spam folder. But I would love to not get any. |

The spam annoys the heck out of me ..sure you can filter to another inbox BUT you've already wasted bandwidth just downloading the junk 
I don't want to waste one 'bit' to spammers - ultimately we all pay... |

It only takes a few knuckle heads out of a million (times hundreds of millions of spam messages) to make it worth the while of spammers.
Interestingly enough, when I left Sympatico for TSI, I registered my own domain for email purposes. It's about a week away from the first anniversary and to date I have not received a single piece of spam, even without any filters.
I had several sympatico email addresses and every one of them were spam magnets. Even the ones that I didn't use. |
