She looks exactly like what I imagined the Spam Queen would look like.

"What we do for a living is not a bad thing. We're not horrible," she says.

We only use your hard drive space and suck up your bandwidth without your permission. We also require your ISP to use extra hardware to make way for all of the spam. We advertise by converting your property. We're thieves, basically, but we're not horrible. /sarcasm

What a loony. She must be a democrat most likely.

What I want to know is ,

WHATS HER EMAIL ADDRESS?????

[Billthedrill]

Why on earth does that individual want to make my genitalia larger?

She's not made of Spam! New Spam is pink. It only goes gray after you leave it out a couple days.

>>While some unscrupulous spammers ignore people who ask to be removed from a list, Ms. Betterly says she complies if anyone e-mails back an "unsubscribe" command, sends "opt out" instructions or otherwise asks not to receive future messages.<<


No kidding. If you click on the "remove me" link, MOST spammers will be overjoyed, as they just discovered a "live" email address and will sell your email address for a higher price. I have been advised by my ISP not to click on the "unsubscribe" link for this very purpose, and it has resulted in less and less spam.

Hmm. . .I also handle tele-marketers in a rather unique way: When one calls and immediately asks, "Is this Mr. XXX?" I come back with, "May I ask who's calling?" and I do not identify myself. (Proper phone manners require the caller to identify themselves first, as in "This is So-and-So, May I speak with So-and-So?")

The tele-marketer then goes into their "This is business XXX, and we. . ."

At this point I interrupt and say, "I'm sorry, I am an estate attorney taking calls for Mr. XXX, he died a few weeks ago. Do you have a claim against the estate?"

At this time the tele-marketer pauses and replies, no, they do not have a claim against the estate. I then say, "Thank you, please remove his name form your list."

This ensures my name is actually removed from the list and not re-sold.

Telemarketing calls have fallen off dramatically within a few months after I started doing this. Before then I would ask to be removed and always suspected they did no such thing. Now I am reasonably certain I am removed.

(I've only had ONE telemarketer switch gears upon hearing the news of my "death," and that telemarketer then tried to sell me--the estate attorney--the product. Crass.)

We should have to 'opt in' to get this stuff..
not 'opt out'.

[PsyOp]

To hell with her phone number. I want her e-mail address!

[Sender]

There should be an "OPT-IN/OPT-OUT" flag on an email inbox, that way if she puts a single spam in there while clearly marked OPT-OUT, the Spam Queen loses and gets fined. Actually my new ISP does a pretty good job of keeping out spam. I used to get 50-70 useless porn and scam messages a day at my old email address, it became unusable.

[arly]

I agree I would like to have her e mail address and forward every useless junk that they have send to me back at her X10 every day for about six straight months!

[polemikos]

AIEEEEEE! I'm blind!

The Face of Spam

[galt-jw]

Well, I hate spam. But this woman built a company on her own, with virtually no capital, in her home, with kids, and became a major player.

She could have been a welfare leech. Wonder how many jobs she created, too.

November must be spam month in the news business. Here's my post from earlier today on the Spam KING:

"I'm just trying to make a living like everyone else," says Ms. Betterly. Her e-mail marketing operation, she says, allows her to raise her children, Chris, 10, and Craig, 11, and to spend quality time with them."

Maybe she can spend some of that money to get them quality plastic surgery if they look anything like her. Michael Jackson's surgeon could make a definite improvement.
