Heh here is a little story that will frost your nads: I run a store which sells games like D&D, Warhammer, Pokemon, and Magic the Gathering. I have lots of youngsters in more store raning in ages from 5 uo to 80 (hey some of us Adults are just big kids at heart when it comes to games and toys) anyhow because of the varied ages of the Kids when the Conversation becomes "rough" by the older kids and I have youngsters in the store I caution the Older guys to cool it on the Bad Words (cussing does not offend me but six year olds do not need to hear the "F"-word repeatedly)

Anyhow one older kid kept up with the harsh Language after several warnings, finally I had enough and warned him next offense and he was banned from my store forever (And when I say forever I ain't kidding)well of course someone made him mad he used the "F"-word and I of course showed him the door...

Now it is amazing how fast Parents want to get involved when they think their Child is being denied his Rights (sic) (this is a whole other story I will not relate here) anyhow when I patiently explained the whole story to the father he basically realized there was no way his kid was coming back and left right after using a few of the "harshest" words himself and in front of youngsters... I thought the matter settled...

Within a few days suddenly I am getting nearly 100 XXX Rated e-mails a day and I mean some of the raunchiest stuff I have ever seen... Beastiality, Gay, Defecation, etc. all of it advertisement...

I do the Unsuscribe deal and seem to get rid of most of it then all of the sudden I am spammed by some seriously disgusting Kiddie porn crap and I immediately call my ISP to get it stopped they did their best but I had to resort to changing my e-mail... I told them I wanted action on the matter and finally they figured out that my little buddy who I kicked out of the store was responsible for the mess he even hacked into my e-mail account (I guess at the time it was way to easy with my Isps e-mail server to hack it) I told em lets nail this little butthole and they told me they wouldn't because he was underage... I said fine I was contacting the local sheriff...

well when the Sheriff got back to me he said strangely the ISP had lost all the info on the incident...

I wonder if it had anything to do with this little butthole's Dad being a prominent Banker-type in our local community???

I guess what is ever best for the children ehh?

People like this guy just makes me ill! First try and force someone to put up with his unruly Kid because he has "rights" (sic) and secondly when the kid has clearly broken the law he uses his connections to make the matter disappear...

Your first mistake was in trying to "unsubscribe" to the pornspams you received. This ass obviously subscribed you to a bunch of mailing lists (how did he get your email address, by the way)?

There is no such thing as "unsubscribing" from spam. All the spammer will do when you submit your request or even reply to the spam is confirm that your email address is a "live" one then sell it to other spammers, ensuring that you will receive even more spam.

In your case, about the only way to reduce the amount of spam you get is to go after the mailing lists that don't verify subscription requests. To do it the hard way, learn to read email headers and complain about each and every spam you get to the originating ISP and/or their upstream. An easier way is to simply forward these spam emails to your ISP (with full headers) and let them help clean up the mess.

My gosh! There's the problem. The parent not only didn't care enough to teach the kid to do the right thing.
The parent didn't care about right and wrong himself. Some example he's setting, huh?
What a pain in the behind to have to put up folks like that, huh? If there were more folks like you in this world,
there'd be a LOT fewer folks like them! ! Thanks for sharing that...........

That is disgusting! What a horrible example of a parent!

The Bush group on Yahoo during the the campaign was spammed by gay porn which was really sick -- think about opening an email with the heading of picture of GW and Laura and getting two guys -- still gives me the creeps. We complained to Yahoo, they did nothing but I complained to AOL as a subscriber and they sprang into action to investigate and after a short time we had no more problems.

Now I find out that this porn group was on Yahoo who refused to do anything to get rid of the gay porn our group was getting sent during the election -- really made me wonder!
