How One Spam Leads to Another
If you want to be your own boss and make money working from home while increasing the size of your penis and shopping for cut-rate electronic products from China -- you're in luck.

The quantity of e-mailed advertising pitches for these and other fabulous opportunities is about to increase dramatically, according to research by Bob West, an anti-spam activist...

...West said his research indicates that unless consumers complain publicly and loudly about the promiscuous passing around of their e-mail addresses, spam will make the mailboxes of most Internet users virtually unusable within the next six to nine months ... "a year if we're lucky." [Wired]

Spam must be made illegal. The punishment must be real. It has to have teeth. I am simply amazed at how many people are concerned with the size of certain parts of my body, my impotence, my need for money, my dating life (hmmm, married), my interest in African business practices, my need to see female body parts, and the latest gadget that I just can't wait to see collect dust from non-use. All of these people are wasting my time and their time. Yet they keep at it.

My real question? Is there any real use to an AOL, or Hotmail account except to collect spam. Think about this --- I get spam to my AOL account --- I Never Use It, or Give It Out??? Now that's real spam...mj
