Re: Honestly...

According to Cisco about 90% of all email is spam. So for every 1 email you get 9 were blocked as spam. Think of the time money and resources that must be used to deal with this problem. If nothing else think of how much faster the net would be if we got rid of all this crap. I say we kill all the spam filters for a month, including the ones for government. I bet something would be done then.

A couple of years ago, our spam filter at work broke over the weekend. I signed in and saw about 500 messages in my inbox. Only about 20 were valid e-mails. The rest were spam. And this was years back. Nowadays, I'd probably have 5,000 spam e-mails for every 20 valid messages.
