Brett,
For the moment, consider it the "cost of doing business." Without getting into
"Platform Wars," MAC and WebTV users have no clue about bandwidth. It is not going to
get any better. A friend provided his brother with an "unlimited" account through his
hosting company. I began to receive multi-megabyte images of "fat-chick" jokes. Four
months of overloading a server, not to mention my HotMail account, provided the
clue-by-four to stop the spew.
He called and asked why I sent several copies back to him. I asked how long it took
to download. His answer: A long time.
I know how to delete messages exceeding a limit and forward those back to the sender,
automagically.
Perhaps this is a request to Julian for the _trivial_ block of messages exceeding a
certain byte limit. I have no problem _paying_ for the initial filter. Please
remember hat Julian must pay for the bandwith.
If it is any consolation, I printed a seventeen page, 35 paragraph document on
watermarked stationary, had it notarized, and placed it in a $1 envelope with $4,85
postage to a law firm in New York, to stop MonsterHut from spamming us. Paper cost @
$0.25/sheet plus two hours reading all of the documents, including Julian's Affidavit,
and another two hours to prepare the document and an hour in the queue at the Post
Office, and an hour to and from the post office which offers free parking in Downtown
Detroit.
My SpamCop usage is less than $5/year. Killing MonsterHut, PRICELESS.
In complete agreement,
Bob
