I don't know how we got off on the wrong foot here. It's a sacred sin to email spam, but it's ok to cut down thousands of trees on a QUOTE]

I can tell you how we got off to the wrong foot with this. I've been on the net since 1995. And BBS before that, anyone remember FIDO net?

When I got my first spams, I didn't much care. Then I heard the uproar, congress looking into it? I had to ask others what the problem was. I got the bla bla bla, it cost us money to run these servers. Well duh, you put a computer open to the world don't be surprised when the world comes to visit.

It has NOTHING to do with that. Companies do have the problem of having improper e-mails hit employees and the employee then sueing for working environment issues. And people will do it. So companies to have some real issues their.

But where this came from is this. AOL and others have spent a lot of money one what was then called "The Great Experiment"
If us much smaller entities come in and send UCE's not only can we offer products for less money because of our lower cost, AOL can also not charge as much for the advertising on their websites. AOL and others are a coroporation. It's got nothing to do with morals. It's all about money, that's what a corporation does. While there are all kinds of talk about ethics in the classroom, look around you, take a look at Ms. Clean aka Martha Stweart. It ain't morals, it's $$$.

As for how much one can make, I know people that send 20 million e-mails a day. They often make $10,000 a week. No it's not me. Wish it was. ;) It's not cheap to do that. I can provide the contacts for those with the money though for bullet proof servers.
