I have read some of these newsgroups and it amazes me the amount of time and energy they use to go after them.

Yes some are totally nuts.
It's a power trip to get a site shut down. Generally that happens to bulkers that are new in the industry. Newbies learn pretty quick or give up.
I've been stalked. Guy was really talking tuff till I sent him pictures of himself. Then all of a sudden it wasn't really him that sent me those messages.
SPAM is it so bad? Do you have to take it out to the street once aweek? Do I send you CD's that will takes many years to decompose and when they do release toxins into the air? Did it take a single strand of bark for someone to send it? Does it fill up your trash or make it nearly impossible to get the mail out of your post office box? Think about it.....
Back in the mid 90's, I couldn't figure out why everyone was complaining about SPAM. Now I've seen people making money off SPAM by being against it. I just love that one. Who would hate SPAM? AOL. Why? Because it takes their bandwidth. BS. I don't get this, you stick a computer out on the Internet and it's designed to accept traffic from anyone, why then complain when I send you traffic. Privacy? That's insane. I've not released your information to anyone else. Oh, I bothered a moment of your exsistance by sending you something? Then don't get on a network intended to communicate with anyone.
But where did this anti SPAM mood originate? Could it be AOL and other big ISP don't much like it? Why would they not like it?
Hmmm, now if I can send you a message, I don't have to pay AOL or others for their Advertising? Ahhhh, am I in competition with them AOL? Hmmm, they have 30 million subscribers and lots of attorney's. "I" can deliever cheap advertising keeping the consumers cost down, while AOL and others have dreams of charging Super Bowl type advertising fees.
Its really not very hard to stop SPAM from getting into your mail box, but there are quite a few people out there that want it. If not, there wouldn't be people making a lot of money by sending it. As long as there is a demand, the demand will be fed.
