Exactly. And the removal links that ARE in some of them are usually bogus. Like, "email here to be removed" and it bounces back nearly ALL of the time. AND, if you try to email the spammers back, your email is also bounced.

I have a few email accounts that have the option for refusing any mails from anyone not in my address book, i think I'll start putting that to better use soon

In the words of Bob Dylan....
God damn
God damn the spammerman


However, there are times when people can get way out of hand with the definition of spam. I mean, a few years back I started my first model's site, and I emailed several dozen models and offered them a free portfolio page on the site complete with banner link to their site. I got replies ranging from "yes! Thanks!" to "stop spamming or we'll rep0rt you"

I was amazed! You mean that a legitimate web page proposal is spam to some people??? Then...what about all the unsolicited requests I get for link trades?? Are they also spam?

Fuck some people are brain-dead about everything. Even spam.
