Re: How about if it contains . . .
Only ridiculous if it is not enforced. We let spammers get away with so much! And given that many anti-spammers seem to find the hunt (shutting down a website, for example -- for which the response from spammers is to move to another website) more interesting than finding practical solutions to the problem, spammers may get away with abusing individual and businesses rights for years to come. I have yet to see a even one solid technical or legal solution to the problem. What makes spamming all that different from viruses and worms? Do they not have the same adverse economic implications? Could you imagine what your snailmail mailbox would look like if snailmail advertising were free? If porn were sent to your mailbox? The laws haven't caught up with the crimes, the current laws aren't being enforced, and general thinking is that is the problem is difficult to stop, so many just filter out the problem and try to live in ignorant bliss. Isn't it easier to support a sub-industry that lives off of spammers -- by that I mean all the companies that sell us filtering software, tracking software, et al. What would happen if all that money went to stopping the problem, not masking it? Just a question, just my opinion
