Financially I say spam is good for the overall economy....Supply and Demand baby...
If ISP's get 'clogged up' that means they "NEED" to buy more pipe and equipment to suport the flow of biz right? Therefore someone is buying more pipe, etc.....think of all the tax money made & paid by spammers....if you think spamming is a bad thing, which of course it has quite a few downfalls too, thing it through one more time without your pre-programmed hate of spam hat on....
It's more Earth-Friendly than direct mail as it doesn't end up in a big land-fill, it's less annoying than harrassing phone calls during dinner, and for me it sure beats watching commercials I don't give a fuck about during TV programs....
Spam haters are why monopolies begin and flourish, they ONLY want their propoganda sent to them by the 'biggest of players that are OK in their eyes' and a the same time bitch about Microsoft and big government, LOL..... They will also whine when their own business gets shut out by the 'networkization' of the internet, when it becomes the NBC/ABC/CBS-only players club and their little asses are sitting their trying to live off the scraps...
Cows Cows Cows, stop and think for a few....
There is more than one side, I'm not an advocate of spam by ANYmeans, but....don't be like most simpletons and be a 'team picker, flag waver' for the sake of being one, think it all the way through on both sides, then hit your delete button
