This is a total crock of sh*t. This doesn't work: I forward *all* of my cyberpromo mail back at this address, and nothing ever happens (except more junk mail). Something has to be done, and I'm not talking about my email program filtering out the messages (cause I still have to retrieve them). I hate to bring the government into this, but the telcos are going to have to just pull the plug on these guys (which won't happen). Then again, if they make this illegal, then they are just going to move out of the country and send the mail anyway. Guns. Big ones. That's what we need. (I'm venting, of course) -- XCOMM Kevin P.
