It would be interesting seeing how effective this would be. I can see some problems with it though. Most of the spam I get uses a msn or yahoo address which just redirects you. My impression, is that this would become valid now. I also see problems with things like tiny url. Which is just an alias for another url, supposedly much larger. This would mean banning the use of all these types of urls.
Having choices is fine, but when we have to many that is where we have a problem. Look at cable tv, or satellite. Do we really need 700,000 channels?
Having to choose between 20 different products is difficult. Why do you think everyone just goes with MS? It is a universal product. No one *really* likes it, but everyone uses it.
Why would they support a bill, when they complain that 80% of the mail on hotmail is spam. They just encourage it more.
If they start spamming, will this stop them from putting butterflys all over NYC? Maybe we could just shoot MS's advertising dept. Then shoot the guy who came up with the idea to support this bill.

Seems like a great way for us to shoot our nukes. Sure if there is life, it might die, unless they are cockroaches. What else would live on mars?

It worked for my mom, but I wouldn't call that business.
I only believe FOX news, because they are fair and balanced.
