Here is the reality of spam: One kind of spam will be with us forever, the Nigerians with $35,000,000 peinile implants and a mortgage deal of the century. they will stay because they are illegal scams or infomnation gaterinf spots to just steal.
There is another class of spam, the stuff from businesses like Meinike Mufflers, the travel agency, and DeVry's university hire toi spread the word. If they were fined for each email sent to someone they don't know or have a business relationship with, they would stop real quick.
I worked out a scenario last year, it was looked at by members of congress (read staffers) but it was not followed. http://www.ries-knight.net/spam/
perhaps we can make the right noises this year. -- Bill Ries-Knight Stockton, CA
