I work at a software company and the girls who work here aren't your "typical" girls in any respect... but then again I guess by any standard of normalilty none of the guys that work here fall in that category either:)
Make me a game that my girlfriend can sit down and play with me and i'll be a happy man. Well.. unless she it's single player and she won't let me play!
I hadn't thought about it that way before... I would agree with you completely except for the fact that it's not always the "people" who are providing free email that are making the money from the acts of the spammers.
I'm not sure where your argument is coming from to "start charging as much for delivering email.." but that would certainly stop spammers if they are forced to pay a greater amount for each spam sent than they would normally earn.:)
It does seem like harsher punishments should be involved when dealing with spammers and the such. Sure people should be educated in the art of "spam safety" but it's still annoying to delete those few emails every week because some smuck has you on his list and fat chance of getting off.
Why should only fines be imposed? It is against the law to do it. I say jail time is a must. These spammers are invading our personal space and punishment should be imposed that will make those who are caught as well as those still free to reconsider before entering into this annoying profession.

I like free email though!
