Don't remeber where i heard that though

SPAM = Annoying as hell.
Why do people even OPEN the stupid e-mails? They have incomprehensible topics, stupid e-mail addresses and names. Maybe all they want is a bigger penis...
I found it funny when my sister was like "I hate how I get tons of e-mails saying to enlarge my penis! God!"
Well, it was the way she said it. You sorta have to be there.... Err,, I dunno.I'm sorta tired and easily confused and I ramble on alot.

I really HATE spam messages and emails, its just so annoying, " Download this File And Get A Free Elephant " well, atleast say that, then it makes it more fun to read

Boy, I hear that. but how about...

I wonder how many spam email a day we'd get THEN...

Maximum PC had a really funny and interesting 1-page interview of Ronald Scelson, the self-proclaimed "King of Spam", but it was a long time ago, I think in the January 2003 issue.

Eh, I'd say just get a mail client. Thunderbird works well for me. Gmail catches 98% of the spam that goes through it, and Thunderbird picks up the remainder plus spam from my other two accounts.

Is spam illegal yet? I mean, back when telemarketing was the big thing, there was a do-not-call list. Haven't had a telemarketer since. Can't the UN make like... a do-not-spam list? I dunno... just a thought. Trace and eradicate all spammers. It could turn into a digital world war.

I have to agree though, some of them are almost like unwanted jokes of the day. I get a good laugh out of it.

Yeah, god bless Gmail... Probably the best free e-mail service on web...

I just hate opening one of my mail accounts, and realizing that a good porcent of the income is crap! tho when I see the income of any of my friends, they have like 3 times the garbage I receive....well they give away their mails all the time.

Spammers win loads of money every month for just a very few "work" everyday.

well, a lot of spam comes from personal computers infected by a virus/trojan/worm or whatever, and who knows where the program came from to begin with, so i don't know how accurate these results could be

I think the US is the most spam come from... The US has the CAN-SPAM Act 2003 to regulate spam, howeve, it legalise SPAM instead of controlling it. How poor....
