Ok, I may not be very good at writing..... But this junk e-mail thing is NOT about content, its about CONSENT S630 seeks to outlaw fraud and thats a good thing, but it does NOT address the real problem here and that is the unsolicited nature of the email advertising. If the law prohibits e-mail advertising that contains fraud, fine - then all of the "legit" businesses that want to advertise by e-mail "legally" then as much as have permission from the legislature to spam all they want. This is VERY BAD LAW! Junk EMail just like junk fax should be outright prohibited and have done with it. Also, have you read the Congressional Findings? Its self contridictory and thereby is open to being struck down by the courts. Like I said before VERY BAD LAW! --
