Politicians Seek Spam Loophole

Posted by chrisd on Wednesday August 21, 2002 @05:08PM from the pornographers-scam-artists-herbalife-and-politicians dept.

Steve B writes "An article in the Mercury News by Mike McCurry and Larry Purpuro (respectively heading an "advocacy management and communications software company" and a "political e-marketing firm") wraps the case for political spam in all the usual Mom-Flag-&-Apple-Pie cliches. They conclude with a cynical appeal for a special exemption, while condescendingly instructing anti-spammers that their efforts are "better focused on commercial e-mail" and painting spammer Bill Jones as a victim who made a few trifling mistakes."

Who modded this as a troll? Personally, I TRY to think of the Internet as a bastion for quasi-rational thought. Well, some of it, anyway. And I'd do the same, anyway.
