For God's sake don't get the government involved. They're like the proverbial camel's nose in the tent. The government wants to run your whole life anyway. Dont' let them. Don't send flames either. Flamers are worse than spammers. While I don't mind some spam, if you don't want it, you shouldn't get it. Spam IS free speech. Hoever, the constitution does NOT require you to listen to anyone's free speech. I'm a SysAdmin for an ISP. Our dialup clients are instructed to let us know if they are getting unwanted spam. I then send one message to the owner of the offending subnet telling them I will filter out the entire subnet if any of their clients send one more spam email to my subnet(s). It works. If your ISP won't do this for you, change ISP's. Eric F
