ppl who complain about spam need to get a life, or at least learn how to use the internet better....

what if your child all of a sudden got inundated with porn email? The one thing about spam is.. you can't control what people send you, and thats why its bad for our industry. If someone is mailing out millions of spam, its certainly going to get to people who don't want it. If people are mailing responsibly, qualified lists and have a real pre-existing relationship with those they are mailing, its a different story. A few bad apples spoil the dozen...
Also, the corporations who run the servers for mail, it costs them money, why do you think its AOL and MSFT attacking everyone? It is annoying, I hit the delete key, but unresponsible SPAM is a liability of our industry. The people who benefit.. are the ones who send it. To everyone else, it just deals damange to our industry as a whole.
