Microsoft leads the way with "Block XP", offering protection above and beyond previous software measures, with mail filtered by "specially trained third-world laborers. These workers, or 'Spam Blockers' as we like to call them ..." This is too funny. Imagine using "third-world laborers" to filter spam that probably originated in that third-world nation to begin with. Who comes up with this stuff?

Most spam (90%+) originates in the US.
Unfortunately, our government is firmly in the corporate pocket, so the new anti-spam bill merely sets up guidelines that require opt-out info in spam messages.
It's sad. There was a British parliamentary delegation that came over before this bill passed, and tried to talk Congress into making it "opt-in", not "opt-out". They were told it would never fly.
GRIM STAT OF THE DAY:
If every legitimate business in the US sent users just one legit marketing email per year, it would average out to 867 messages per day for every email user.

| A Good Form of Torture for caught spammers
I say once we find out who a spammer is, we should first make them sit thru 72 hours of straight lectures by Bill Gates. Then make them take 100 times the normal dosage of what ever growth product they are trying to sell use. Then cut off their hands, feet, and any appendage they could use to type on a keyboard. Then sew their mouths shut so they can't use a mouse to manipulate a computer. Give em a NG tube shoved down their nose so they can get some sort of food. Then force them to give back all the money they made spamming to their victims

|  Next Idea,OPT out of everything.
With the way the laws are I think it's going to enforce the DO NOT SPAM list.
At least, someone is going to design a Server that people can send OPT out links to.
When someone signs up all these links AUTO OPT-OUT.
I still think their OPT in approach is 100% better.
WE know that the government has the most intelligent people working for us. It's not like some of them can't spell potato.

| Opt-out your government representative!
It's time to find out which senators and congressmen are protecting the interest of spammers and are responsible for blocking the opt-in provisions of the law, and opt them out at the polls. We DO have the power to show them the true meaning of OPT-OUT!
By committing their lousy law to paper, the US government has only made things worse by now giving spammers the legal grounds to operate and avoid prosecution. By default, anything that is not specifically addressed in the law becomes a legal gray-area that a spammer, if caught, can hold up in court and prove they didn't violate any provision in the law.
Think about this. How can they define the meaning of Opt-Out? When you opt-out of a piece of spam, does the opt-out cover all future mail from:
1.) the e-mail address?
2.) the server?
3.) the IP address?
4.) the marketing company?
5.) the product?
6.) the product or service provider?
It's impossible to define because changing 1 variable will and essentially make every spam from any of the sources above, a unique 'new offer' that has to be opted-out of again. Spammers already do this to avoid spam filters, so they don't even have to change their methods to circumvent the opt-out provisions. You can't hit a moving target.
The truth is that most spam has been illegal all along, because it uses stolen bandwidth, stolen e-mail accounts, breaking and entering someones server, and several other illegal activities, yet there have been only a few arrests or convictions because it's nearly impossible to catch them and it's too costly for most ISP's to pursue except for the few worst offenders.
Creating more legislation based on currently unenforceable model is only 'putting teeth in the mouth of a dog who won't hunt', as we say in Georgia! |

I had to check and see if this was a joke or did I miss something because in my nicotine-withdrawl induced irritability I cannot think straight and did not want to post ill-advisedly. Then I looked at the link under the article that said "Fun"...
I did not get it, and had to read it four or five times. It would have been funnier if I weren't nicking out right now.
God, I need a smoke...

| Yahoo escalates the war on spam!
In a bold announcement today, Yahoo has revealed that due to it's original success, it has secretly expanded it's Spam Sponge effort over the last year by adding all of it's free members e-mail addresses to the Spam Sponge list, by resetting all their marketing preferences to ON, thereby making them "Spam Sponge Martyrs".
"Spam is a global problem and not unique to Yahoo, and it is our position that Yahoo should take on this cause on the behalf of all internet e-mail users world wide. No war is fought without it's casualties, and Yahoo had to make the life-or-death decision that our non-paying members should die for the cause of the greater good." said an unnamed Yahoo spokesman. He further added "Those blood sucking non-paying users represent the majority of our user base, consume the majority of our resources and generate 80% of the spam complaints we receive. Since they don't pay us a dime, it's time that they shut-up, lay down and play dead so we can step over them in our pursuit of the enemy".
In 2004, Yahoo will beta-test Spam Sponge Enhanced, that will capture the e-mail address of any non-Yahoo member sending mail to a Yahoo address and enlist them in their Spam Sponge as well. "If this is as successful as the current Spam Sponge effort, by fourth quarter 2004, over 90% of internet spam will be absorbed by Spam Sponge, thus leaving only 10% of the spam for ISP filters and government legislation to fight. We WILL win this fight" said our Yahoo source.
So next time you receive an e-mail from a Yahoo address, be sure to reply and thank them for being a hero in the war on spam. They'll appreciate the kind words, if they can actually find your message in their in-box. Just do it before 2004 or you may be drafted into the Spam Sponge Army without even knowing. |

"Kathleen Gipson of Enhance Your Rod, Inc. called the move 'deceptive and harmful. We want our message about member enlargement to get to the people that want it.' "
Deceptive and harmful? Don't you think sending penis enlargement spam to people who don't want is deceptive? That's spam, we don't want your junk!
Who cares, there's nearly no way to make someone else's wang bigger. I don't care anyways, my tool is big enough and I would certainly would not want that crap in my inboxes.
Setting up phony boxes is what they deserve. Dirty spammers
