I have had the same Yahoo account for 5 years. I average maybe 7 spam messages a year. I received my first one in 4 months last night. I use my Yahoo account when ordering from various vendors, downloading code samples or components, signing up for newsletters, etc. Why are people getting so much spam and I do not? I almost feel left out;-) Granted I do not have my email address posted on my website but what gives? Who are you sharing your addresses with?
If we want to stop spam then we need to prosecute the vendors selling the Viagra and not jsut the spammers who send the messages. If I get a spam email for Viagra, I want the owner of the site they are trying to get me to visit prosecuted. In a murder for hire case they don't just prosecute the assassin, they prosecute the person who hired the assassin too. Or do they already do this?

Weapons are often aimed/sighted by lasers. If I pointed my laser-sighted 9mm at your head would you feel terrorized? It is all a matter of context. Hello, we are talking about aircraft here.
Hey, my steering wheel is not showing up in game controllers after I upgraded to AutomindowsXP...
I'm sorry sir, MicroSoft no longer supports the Sidewinder 3dpro steering wheel. Well yes sir, I understand it is a MicroSoft product. No sir, there are no new drivers available, you will have to upgrade to a newer device......that will be $2500.
Guess we should never question the law. That's just the way it is. Put that beer down my friend, it's illegal to drink that stuff. Get to the back of the bus and stay away from that drinking fountain, it's for whites only. Fighting for change is just plain stupid!
Hey, if I patent taking a Crap what will you be full of?
Ok...Mr. never been falsely accussed. Let's say you're standing in the way of my success. Add a little annonymous phone call, a little white lie, whip it up in a big Patriot Act Pie and tada....you're no longer a problem for me. Better hope they don't decide to save some more money on detaining you and just go for the death penalty.
No Due Process for you! You die now. Well, we were pretty sure he was guilty?
Ya know...I was on Chip's side until I saw in the complaint that he requested $50,000 for the domain. This negates any sympathy from me. Sounds like a cyberpirate so if the shoe fits. If it was about scrupals then ok but he showed his true colors when he asked for the money. Trademark are going to have to carry over to domain names if true ecommerce is going to fly. I have had to deal with this problem twice now at work and once with my Wife's company. Yeah, you won but that doesn't mean you are right.

Perhaps you don't understand that:
We the people != You the individual

That's his call, and if we don't like it we can pick someone else in two years.
Errrr..... We didn't pick George the 2nd in the first place. He did not win the popular vote. Where have you been?
