Same old - Same old: Has it ever occured to anyone, that the spamers would not have a reason to spam, if they did not have users and buisnesses (and porn sites) to hire them to advertise. Isn't it time to cut off the snakes head? Go after the advertisers! No matter what a company that sells pharmacuticals or porn says - if their name or contact number appears on a spam - the Spamers do not do this for free.
I, personally do not have anything against private enterprise (or porn), but I want the freedom to choose, and not have it pushed in my face.
