Evanston, IL | I don't care about it because I use a spam filter.
Instead of wining about the latest bill not doing anything about spam, why not use a spam filter. Thunderbird gets rid of most of my spam. |

You're assuming everyone is an individual user with the knowledge, time and money to invest. That doesn't cover a lot of users, like my kids and my parents, nor does it cover personal and business domains that get slammed with "dictionary" spam sent to many addresses. Spam imposes huge costs of time and money on individuals and businesses - estimated recently at $20 billion - which is only going to grow unless some sort of correction is put into the system. |

Yeah, it unfair that anyone running a mail server has to pay for bandwidth and cpu time of receiving and filtering spam, but there is no solution. It's the price we pay for a free and open method of communication. |
