something might get done. I don't have a problem with receiving all the crap I do, as long as it's not deceptive and I can opt out if I want to. I shouldn't need to have three email accounts to work my life around this crap. I honestly don't know what's worse, the headaches of spam or knowing that some people read it and actually fall for it. -- Forget @home support, Miss Cleo has all the answers. |

| reply to scavio opt-in
I've seen people suggest an opt-out for spam where by saying "I don't want this stuff" you will magicly be removed (never really happens). My suggestion is if you want spam opt-in as you would be opted-out by default instead of opted-in. -- When I sleep everyone else is awake. Is that why I never have any money in my wallet? |

 Anon | reply to scavio Spammers have no rights
I agree with Dr.Scavio. My Points. They usually hide there true Identity. The press has rights but not the right to throw their crap into my house(ie spammers). There is not right to intrude in to my life style. |
