I'm not asking this to be sarcastic, I honestly want to know some of the issues you have with spam. People seem so militant about spam but I just don't get it.
1- Kids receiving porn in their email: I can sort of understand this one, but as a parent shouldn't you be watching while your kids is online? The Internet is not just for kids and shouldn't be looked at as a place where kids can roam unsupervised. How long does it take to check their email and delete anything from addresses you don't know? Wouldn't you want to do this anyway, just in case of viruses?
2- It's annoying: sure, but so is all the junk mail I receive in my regular mailbox. I just trash it and move on.
Instead of trying to shut people down or making stupid laws that aren't going to be effective anyway shouldn't we just choose not to do business with people who spam and use the tools available to cut down on the amount of spam you receive in your inbox?
That's just my  but perhaps I'm missing something about the spam issue.

NIna I agree
Letting your kids on the internet without supervising is like sending them on a plan alone !!!
When I opend my daughters Hotmail accompt a few years ago ...they got spammed with porn sites...
I JSUT TOLD THEM what is was... Explaining to kids is the best way.. Told them how to block unwanted emails etc...
Dammm they dont have to go far to get spammed ... media ,radio TV video, thatre movies...at school with there friends...
Come on we cant hide them whats outthere... we need to COMMUNICATE and stop trying to overprotect them and hide them that there is a whole world outhere and they are exposed to many things. They have choices and decisions to make...
Teach them that they are consequences to every decision and act you make in life...
BUt there no easy way explaiing things alwasy hard and ys spammed do sucks.... Be honnest.....for some people in the biz does a lillte spammed here and there make you money ???
