          Interesting poll, I would've thought fraud/identity theft would be a bigger concern to people.

                  (Reuters) - The exponential growth of unsolicited junk e-mail -- spam -- is shaking consumer confidence in the Internet and may hamper growth of the e-economy, officials Monday told a global anti-spam meeting.

                                  People need to get over the "spam" problems.. Use your fucking delete key and its solved. If you got a kid then moderate their usage if its a problem for you. Most kids by the time their 13 have seen sex pictures or acts anyway, or are doing it themselves. Seems like to much fuss over a stupid case. And yea, it may waste bandwidth, but take it for what its worth and get over it...

                                                          Did you read the thread? What's the fucking use of telling GFY users to get over their spam problems? Go tell it to the consumers who aren't going to be buying from you anymore because they're scared of being spammed.
                                                          Or better still, shoot a few spammers.

Of the 9500 around 9000 were spam with the remaining being legitimate mail, bounces, viruses, etc. My spam filter catches about 99% of the spam I recieve, but generates enough false positives that I have to manually review the spambox daily. Today it took me around two and half hours to make sure nothing was improperly flagged as spam. Estimating this over the course of a year I loose between fifteen to twenty thousand dollars in lost productivity. How much "fuss" is that worth?

                                                                          heh, yeah, i do the same thing, but they're generally migrated old email addresses.

                                                                          what's really funny [sad?] is webmasters spamming webmasters to sign up for porn sites. lol, i don't know how many "cum fuck these hot babes" emails i get to webmaster accounts daily.

If you got a kid then moderate their usage if its a problem for you. Most kids by the time their 13 have seen sex pictures or acts anyway, or are doing it themselves. Seems like to much fuss over a stupid case. And yea, it may waste bandwidth, but take it for what its worth and get over it...

Go tell it to the consumers who aren't going to be buying from you anymore because they're scared of being spammed.

                                                                                                                  consumers are afraid that by buying something from amazon.com or something they will receive a slew of junk email resulting from their purchase.

                                                                                                                  which may or may not true.

                                                                                                                  this, however, is a result of big business tactics where email databases are shared and purchased amongst each other. it doesn't really have much to do with most spammers, as many of them won't have access to these huger lists of consumers because they wouldn't have a relationship as such with the company.

Of the 9500 around 9000 were spam with the remaining being legitimate mail, bounces, viruses, etc. My spam filter catches about 99% of the spam I recieve, but generates enough false positives that I have to manually review the spambox daily. Today it took me around two and half hours to make sure nothing was improperly flagged as spam. Estimating this over the course of a year I loose between fifteen to twenty thousand dollars in lost productivity. How much "fuss" is that worth?

Got a nice little program that scans the deleted spam folder and automatically generates spam complaints to about everyone who takes them. Sure it doesn't lessen the spam, but ....... ;)
