Let's hope this is just the early stages of an end to SPAM.

LOL

I guess it's funny how we don't mind physical junk mail as much as junk email, but the physical junk mail only comes once a day, no Sundays and not on holidays. Imagine if the internet were that way

Also, at least the junk mail that comes to my house is for things that I might actually use...Email spam has never tempted me one bit.

Mark, you could look at your mail just once a day, and never on Sundays or holidays.

Speak for yourself, the wasted resources that go into those stupid CDs along with how they must just pile up in the landfills makes me cringe when I think about it.

Spam is just annoying and avoidable.

Recently AOL made a big deal about their popup stopper. On average they have at least three of their own when I check AOL mail from work.

Well, I have to admit that the spam e-mail promising a 12-inch "member" did intrigue me a little bit, but in the end I decided that chopping off 3 inches was probably a bad idea!

Speaking of unwanted snail mail...

I'm sure people have seen the Captial One No Hassel TV Ads - "What's in your wallet". They forgot to mention that until you DO get the card, they WILL hassel the shit out of you. I get 2 to 4 peices a mail from Capital One once a week! My name is in their database twice! With slightly different spellings for my address

NO HASSEL MY ASS!
