[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 868477, member: 4545"] Much snippage there, but this is what really blew me away. Are the laws different across the pond? I get at least one a day (save Sundays) for everything from reducing debt, getting a subscription to the local newspaper, joining the American Association of Retired People (I'm only 29 for Pete's sake!), to tell me about political candidates, to change long distance, to take out a credit card or to donate to some bogus charity. I am literally amazed you don't get these calls and I am wondering what you are doing right that I am doing wrong. As far as spam goes, it's annoying. I get a moderate amount in my spam mail account on yahoo and hotmail. My address on my ISP I seldom give out. I don't mind the spam email so much as long as it does not include explicit pictures. It's one thing to say, "come look at my porno site," it's another entirely to have a deceptive subject line and a lewd graphic picture when I open the mail to see if it is legitimately something I should concern myself with. That is an affront to me as I am vehemently opposed to that sort of image. I mean I don't even watch rated R movies or television programs with what most folks consider mild or tame nudity or sexuality. Junk mail by regular post is not so bothersome to me either. I get junk all the time, but it's never pornographic. Everyone wants to give me a credit card but I can easily trash those applications. I actually am fond of some advertisements I get in the mailbox. Grocery Store ads that list sale prices for example save me time and money. Coupons for Domino's Pizza saves me money. I think the reason that email spam is so much more prevalent than phone or snail mail junk is that because email is darn near free. I welcome a law that would clean up email spam. [/QUOTE]
