    Spam, which is worse

    Seeing as how people comment on Spammers all the time on here I am curious...
    What frustrates people more? Email spam that is easily sent to cyber-hell, or the real spam that ends up in your home mailbox on a daily basis only to end up in a landfill for our children to deal with? What is worse?

    I'm not advocating for email spammers (or even supporting them), but it pisses me off that the government is spending money finding and prosecuting these guys while they don't do anything to the people responsible for producing thousands of lbs of trash a day. Or what about the people who hand out flyers on the street that end up thrown on the ground unread or those flyers on my windshield which suffer the same fate? I think it is time we get our priorities straight.

      If the government received money for email spam like they do for snail mail postage, email spam wouldn't be much of an issue, sans the adult orientated material of course.

              Agreed, I have also made this observation some time ago. But then it occurred to me that there is money being made through email spam through taxes levied on hosts, ISP's, etc. So they are still making their share of the pie. So I'm not sure how strong an argument this is, but I am sure that to the government it all has to do with dollars and cents.

                  Both generate thousands of dollars in waste. However you only think of the tangible (i.e. paper).

                  Not the insane amount of money telco's have to spend on servers, network, man power, internet backbone, storage, programs, etc for the billions of spams sent to people who do not want their quadruple opt-in porn, pills, and penis shit.

                      Agreed, but at least that equipment serves a purpose beyond spam. Besides, think of the amount of gas and man hours wasted producing and delivering real spam. Tangible waste is all I'm really concerned with here. These are both products that no one wants, yet one is virtual and does not end up in the dump. No point in arguing how bad email spam is here, everyone hates it and no one wants it in their spam folder. So again, what is worse?
