After reading the current thread(s) about SPAM, and an editorial in my local paper this AM on the same topic, it has occurred to me how very little this material impacts our lives.
Please read on my "letter to the editor." Subject: Let's talk about SPAM Date: 12/17/02 10:08 AM To: Editor, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Times editorial "Law won't stop spam", touched only the bare surface of a problem most of us face each day when we go to our mailbox, pick up our newspaper and drive our roads. I agree with the Times, "Ultimately , consumers should decide just what information they want and don't want to receive,...." Yes, but the electronic TRASH is much easier to handle; ridding ourselves of this nuisance is relatively quick and painless using the Delete key. Whereas the disposal of the hundreds of pounds of unsolicited printed "mail" all of us receive yearly through the U.S. Postal Service and (yes) as part of our morning newspaper, produces trash with infinite more cost of disposal and impact on our environment. Perhaps we should be looking more toward solving the problems created by the Real Trash in our mailboxes, on our driveways, streets and highways. Electronic spam pales by comparison.
