Suckers for the Internet
Q:What's the difference between Spam and Scam? A:Spelling! Get Rich quick schemes, Porn Site posts that auto load the web page when a message is open; They're advertising for free, but is it cheap for us? Makers of Bulk mailers and heat seeking Usenet advertising software get by with impunity. They aren't cluttering the Network... They just make a product... Some people propose a postage rate for e-mail arguing that the increased cost will discourage bulk e-mailers. I think spammers have more savy than that. The cold war never had as many missles, anti-missles, and anti-missle missles as the War on Spam. Sending a polite note gets you on their list. Canceling their message gets 10 more messages posted under different phony names, maybe even under yours. Nobody is willing to admit who they really are anymore for fear of having their e-mail address culled out by robots. Even more critical to the Internet's being and use and practicallity, than privacy, is a sense of honesty.

It is now 2003. My yahoo inbox is nearly full of crap. Apparently the technologies still don't work very well since the spammers are offering me both a larger penis and bigger firmer breasts. With one click I can see young girls having sex with donkeys. With another click I can see 90 year old transvestites. With yet another click I can get a loan and a diploma from "a prestigious non accredited university"I had to change my earthlink account because someone was using my address to sell Herbal Viagra and timeshares. To me this constitutes fraudulent endorsement. I threatend to sue but was only chasing ghosts. Idiot ghosts.
The worst part was the thousands of undeliverable messages flooding my inbox. Stupid spammer must have bought one of those CD's with "Millions of Email addresses!".
