What about all the honest workers like power company employees who have
a job thanks to spam? Should they also "stare to death"?

No, just let them catch up on maintenance that gets pushed aside, or
let them go to work for the cable company! :) They are still doing
repairs in Ocala from last year's hurricanes and its almost time for
hurricane season again. I saw some wires still on the ground along I-75
near Gainsville a couple weeks ago that went down during Frances.
Progress energy just repaired a damaged pole near my house that was
damaged during Frances.

Bummer isn't it? One of the unforeseen costs of spam.

Why did I know in my gut that a decent conversation on a relevant topic
would degenerate into the usual bunch of crap within a couple of days?

...and if all spam could be stopped, trillions of dollars per year would
be saved, as well as all of the power required to run all of the
involved computers.

I guess it finally degenerated enough for you to join in? :)

Actually, with less spam on the net you could brows the vendor's
websites faster because there would be more bandwidth free for real
browsing.

I'd have thought twice a year would be plenty.


If you noticed, each newer catalog has *more* parts; more brands,
more
variety, more types, etc.

I wonder how long Mouser can keep up the quarterly catalogs. They are
getting huge these days! About 3 times the size of what they were
just
2-3 years ago.

I'm not griping mind you, but I'd hate to have to do all my
daydreaming
and parts selections online.

If you don't, you're already missing out on some things. The paper
catalog doesn't have everything that's online.

Maybe so, but so far I've always been able to find everything I need in
the paper catalog so it still gets a big thumbs up from me for convenience.

Think of the unemployment that would result.

Think about all the extra bandwidth on the net after the spam died!
So what if some sleaze balls stare to death? They should have had
honest jobs like cleaning toilets and digging ditches.

Problem is, a lot of the spammers are down there in your area, in Boca
Raton. I wish the hurricanes had wiped them out!

They interviewed one of the spammers on local TV just before
Hurricane Frances went through. She was bragging about how easy it was
to opt out but couldn't see what was wrong with getting plastered with
her crap in the first place.

The bandwidth problem here is getting worse. If you don't go
broadband you might as well give up accessing the net until midnight.
Also, newer web design software is so bloated some servers crawl to the
point they don't have the capacity or bandwidth to do their job.

The main problem is the morons that comprise the 4 percent that actually
buy crap from the spammers.

FOUR PERCENT! That's a phenomenal return, even for a pre-qualified
mailing list.

As long as they can keep getting paid, they'll keep doing it. It's like
the war on drugs - it's like stopping the tide.

Sigh.
