An excerpt from another forum from a month ago. It was about the legal debate over spam. Not my text.
Hehe. The guy's got a good sense of humor. Unfortunately, he's probably telling it like it is. Any news update on this?
i read a little bit of the discussions for it in Congress. I was
shocked to see that anyone supported it. (I didn't think these
spyware companies had any political sway in Washington.) But
surprisingly enough, there is some resistance to this law.
I forget which Congressman it was that said this argument, but I
definitely remember it was a Republican. He said (paraphrasing)
"Sure, most spam e-mail and pop up ads I get are junk. But out of
every 10 opt-out e-mails I receive, at least 3 of them I am
interested in. For these three legitimate companies, we cannot
pass this law."
I wondered which of the 3 out of 10 spam e-mails he receives
appeals most to him, the penis enlargements, farm porn, or the
EZist wey to g1t r1d of D3BT 4evr!
