spam is an invasion of privacy. sometimes the result of Internet search bots, but often from PERSONAL details about you being SOLD by others.



And yet the law says int the Data Protection Act that such information can only legally be held for a minimal time by those with a legitimate need, and no more than needed. This unknown spammed has no legal right to this information because you aren't already their customer.



Three mobile are perfect examples of it. Have you every got a new contract with them and noticed that towards the end of it, you get called by other companies offering you new contract? That's how they do it, by selling your contract info



Do you really want to do business with a company that BUYS information about you, sends out tons of wasted paper that you cant even wipe your backside on and has the persistence of a Rottweiler with its teeth in your a**e?



And how do they pay for it? They hide their extra costs and pas them on to you



No thanks, Id rather shop around

Very funny spam-a-lot. I'll be happy to send all mind to your mailbox. I am sick of getting email spams, fax-spams, junk email and unsolicited phone calls. I guess you want a real discussion on this but, I, for one, feel intruded upon to the max.



But then again - if you're talking about SPAM the food - it should definitely be encouraged and unregulated. There's even a new fat-reduced SPAM.

No, I do not agree.

Unlike junk mail, which arrives at no cost to me, I *pay* to access the internet. Spam costs me money to deal with. Though I have no problem with unsolicited sales pitches that cost me nothing and that I can choose to ignore, I can do neither with spam -- it costs me money, and I have to take extreme measures to delete it, filter it, etc. It's estimated that spam takes up somewhere around 30-40% of the entire world e-mail bandwidth -- with proportional costs.

No. I have to deal with 10 times as much spam as I do legitimate email and I've had my domain hijacked by spammers. It's a real pain in the *** when you can't send legitimate email to someone and their ISP bounces because of abuse. Spammers should be shot. Nobody wants their snake oil.

I grew up eating spam. I like it with rice and some seaweed. They don't sell it around here. They have it in stores in Hawaii though. The call it musubi.
