But how are we going to stop spam??? Well, we could let someone check all mail, through a global mail server looking for such keywords that spam a likeliy to have. But if we let this happen what stops the goverment in stopping other mail they don't want to be sent to through email. I just don't like the thought. The more I argue I get more pissed I get at spam, they're like = telemarketing people that calls you up to sell you some crap that you don't need. The only good thing about this is that your able to mess around with salespersons head for a while. With spam you can do that. Anyways, I guess I have had to much coffe so I will stop here. This = thread is usless anyways, we argue that be both hate spam and therefor we = can't agree. or something.. Good morning and thanks for the coffe.
