Question:
If all / most of us geeks out here would forward our daily recieved spam to the DMA would that be enough to possibly educate them on the policies of opt-out marketing? Or would it be viewed as a form of DDOS (bad karma)? Something to think on....
Ok so we all know that government entities now can no longer delete what they consider spam, so my open is can we use this to help congess / lawmakers see the spam problem for what it is? My proposition is to have a large segment of the IT community batch and send their Washington representitves their daily bulk mail with a polite note explaining a want / need for change in legislation reguarding opt-in versus opt-out as we have currently. Something like this could be used as a tool to even influence the spammers themselves if anyone could actually gain access to their addresses.
