Any business that has to make a living by cheating and conning its customers deserves to be shut down. Death to the spammers!

They found that e-mail addresses posted on websites or in newsgroups attract the most spam.
they just discovered this in 2002? ... this has been known for years ... maybe they should have asked and somebody would have told them ...
There's an easy way to cure spam, declare a spammer as somebody who sends 5 or more unsolicited emails per day ... bill the companies who advertise with spam, by the receiving server (like Yahoo!, AOL, a private or public company) $5 per incident for receiving / storing unsolicited email ... have employees / recipients forward spam to cental collection ... generate the bill ... when they don't pay, file a lawsuit and shut 'em down one-by-one ...
that will cure 90% of spam inside 6 months ... guaranteed ... permanently ... sue the advertisers ... pass the bill in Congress ... done deal ...

From the headline, I thought this might be an article about a meat processing plant just up the road in Austin, MN.

AOL says it hates spamm yet they are one of the worst spammers ... Ack! I just hate AOL ... #^%&$$#&$$ !
Regardless of the stories -- I believe spammers get new Email address from ISP's. I periodically change my ISP and/ or my Email address. But within a few months your address will get out.
Other sources are Internet sign up sites. And they have the ability to scan the Internet and pick up addresses from web sites by Spyders and Robot scanners.
Oh, be careful writing to Ezines to raise a ruckus. Some like Salo* might turn your address in to porn sites.

"AOL is currently waging its own war on spammers," AOL is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. They send more unsolicited email than anyone. They're always trying to sell their broadband or something else.
Yesterday, I was very tired when I got home form work. I received three telephone solicitations during dinner and another later after I had fallen asleep. I fell asleep and another telephone solicitator called and woke me up!!!! I'VE NEVER HAD A SPAMMER WAKE ME UP!!! After I was awaken, I turned on my computer and deleted the spam in less than five seconds. I don't like spam but I despise TELEPHONE SOLICITERS AT LEAST TEN FOLD MORE!!!!
I also believe that AOL subscribers tend to get the most spam because the spammers consider them to be somewhat ignorant if they continue to use AOL. The ONLY reason I keep AOL is because I've used it for years and a lot of friends and business associates have the email address. I surf the Internet using Exployer and my cable connection.
I really need to dump AOL since they're run by a bunch of liberals. Maybe I should go to the plan where I can just check the email?

I'm so sick of the spam I get. Recently I've been getting a lot of spam for porno sites. No joke I just got an email tilted "young boys ---ked for the very first time." Someone has got to put a stop to this.

I say send all the spammers to Korea (the part where they say "you all", not the part where they say "Bahston") where SPAM is considered a delicacy!

For the last week or so I have been replying to every spam email to remove me from the mailing list. Will this work and what about the spam that does not have a remove option?

I keep a hotmail address for travel and such. I was getting 50 spams a day until I made it exclusive, only accepting messages from a specific list.

e-mail addresses listed on both personal and corporate websites. Excuse me but is not putting your email address on a website inviting people to email you? How is that unsolicited email?
Here is my phone number, don't call me!

It can be even worse. Recently, I had spammers spoof my domain in the "from" field of their mass mailings, to make it look as though the spam was coming from my server!
Anyone have any idea of how to stop this abuse?
