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.

Must've been sht Spam Queen. Bitch.

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.

Thank you. And thank you, Roger Ebert. ;-)

Hmmm. Did you also read about the "CAN-SPAM" law? (Link at the bottom
of the BP page).
http://www.angelfire.com/blues2/blowschunks/index.html

It seems Congress has not only de facto legalized spam, they're even
overriding states' rights by pre-empting state anti-spam laws!

There's a list of emails of congresscritters that voted for the law,
and they[0] recommend forwarding all of your spam to them[1].

Thanks!
Rich

[0] the writers of the page
[1] Congress.

I can see you're another sheeple that hasn't learned to think for
himself.

Think about it: How can you 'legalize' something that had no prior
restrictions? Does what you said make any sense?

I agree that it was unwise to override some state laws, especially since
Calif had just toughened the spam laws. But don't try to tell us that
the law legalizes spam. The law puts restriction on spamming where
there were none before (nationally).

See my other post else-thread about my opinion of these alleged
"restrictions."

They only make it illegal to defraud, not to send out a hundred million
totally honest advertising spams. They don't care that there are
"restrictions" on "content" - it's still there clogging my inbox!

In a way, it's equivalent to commercials on free TV (and even cable, these
days). I pay for the use of the phone co's and the ISP's equipment and
bandwidth, and spam is just something I'm going to have to deal with as
it presents itself.

Hence, the blacklist.

And, who cares if it's up to date? Some IP numbers are blocked. Big deal.
If you want to take over the IP number of a known spammer who's been sent
out of business, you should be required to submit an approval form.
Otherwise, those IP numbers are blacklisted forever. ****em.

And, just because I'm a rebel, here's mine:

(yes, I own the domains neodruid.com, neodruid.net, and neodruid.org,
although neodruid.org is on the computer that I boot to Doze at least
once a day to do video games and porno, so won't always be available.)

"They" in this case meaning the gov't. That's all that's possible to
restrict. If the restrictions were on honest spams, then the law would
be declared unconstitutional because it restricts free speech.

No, it's not! Commercials in the media pay their fair share to the
media. Spammers, w/o permission, abuse services from the ISPs and our
inboxes without paying their fair share. Spammers are thieves.
