I got thru and asked if they were busy, he replied 'No just some a$$es like you' and then he hung up...lol apparently he's having a bad phone day...BWHAHAHA!
Well I'll make a few calls for ya. I know at my office we get on average 3-5 spam faxes per night. It only takes a moment to throw them away but it is annoying. I've been known to set their 800 number on a modem redialer...I know its petty and childish but it feels good.
I've thought about setting up a PC just to get faxes but havent had the time or spare equipment. Currently we use one of those cheap fax machines that you have to buy rolls of carbon paper (much like the ink cartridge scam). When you get 3-5 spams per day it really eats up toner and for what?? So some dickhead can send me SCO stock quotes?! Feh!
I would have no problem with these companies if they sent out notices via mail (not email), but when they hijack my fax machine it tends to irk me.
Sounds like gamespy...why oh why do game developers give lamespy these files to distribute....thank you for the non-gamespy mirrors

What I want to see is a ban on opt out and require all spam lists to be OPT IN! You are exactly right in that opt out just verifies the address is valid and is prime real estate on a CD with 1 million other suckers for 34.95, or they just plug you into 1000 other spam lists and remove you from the one you opt out of.
LAME!
This asshat is lucky I don't live close to him or I'd get my pound of flesh. They cant arrest us all! lol
About a year ago it got to the point that I refused to have an email account unless I control who can and can not send me mail. I set up a small web company and configured my mail server nazi style. Its the only way I've found to put a stop to spammers. My ISP email was worthless due to spam so I simply stopped checking it and set up mailenable to do my mail.
What I've found stops most my junkmail are the following:
1) Reverse DNS (PTR) required
2) Relay black list (RBL's I use 3)
3) IP bans
4) Ban most international mail
So far I havent had to install Spamassain but that is probably just a matter of time. For now I'm happy with the numbers...its just a matter of adding IP's as spammers get thru the defenses.
feh fileplanet! I really hate gamespy...they used to be a resource for gamers, now days its about how much they can squash game communities while making a buck off them.
