Re: I'll take what I can get.........

Well, if this happens, I guarantee you'll get much more than you can take. hehe

(note here: I'm assuming you are talking about the no-spam list... if not, then ignore me!)

The thing to keep in mind here is that the 'no-spam list' is NOT a 'baby step' in the right direction; It's a Quantum Leap in the wrong direction. It's solving one of the spammers BIGGEST problems ever: Getting a nice, fresh list of active e-mail addresses, at lost cost (free!), and in an easy-to-use format.

And to top it ALL off... the names of people on it will tend not to be Highly Internet Savvy types... since a good percentage of us who are sick of spam also understand why it is a no-spam database won't work... so we're not going to sign up on it; Only people who don't entirely understand how it all works, will... and those people are the most likely to actually 'click through' on those ads, in the first place.
