Now herein lies a problem with Spam. Everyone thinks it's not their

the pricks from taking advantage of it.
We do. None of *us* buy things from spam. None of *us* allow people we
know to market via spam.
I had this discussion recently with a friend starting real estate.
"Look, telemaketing, cold calls, contact lists, email lists are all
*spam*. Period. It doesn't matter now nice you are or how quickly you
sort the list. I can't stop you from doing it right now, but if I ever
*can*, you're going down. Remember that.")
But, we're not the target market either. We're just collateral damage.
However, there's no way for *us* to reduce the effectiveness of spam.
If there were, I would do it even if it were particularly annoying.
