MPs Should address the issues of poor hospitals, schools policing etc companies getting spam, is a very low priority issue as far as I am concerned.

It is also wrong that, businesses keep getting singled out for preferential treatment.

They already get cheaper phone calls and all sorts of other concessions.

We all receive unwanted e-mail, however if the MPs want a real issue what about all the spam, that businesses send to us through the post every day of the week.

It is also businesses that are sending out most of the spam e-mails any way trying to force people to purchase their products.

Reecntly I started getting a pop up message, destry all ads buy our software.

I sent them an e-mail, asking them to stop sending them to me. I also informed them that they at that time were the only ones sending me the messages any way and that if they stopped I wouldn't need there software.

Of course I recieved more pop-ups, but I still dont have to buy their software to stop them.

Any one who needs to stop pop-up messages, go to ZDNET where you cah download a free program POP UP STOPPER.
