Yet it is representative of a power based society where so many are desperate enough to make money that they debase themselves to pushy sales tactics and ridiculous headliners. Imagine having to tell people that you send SPAM for a living?

The thing is some people like spam. I think something like 16% of people take advantage of spam offers at one time or another.
What I personally hate is pop up adverts. I use to be active on the ezboards but their pop ups completly froze up my computer so now I E-travel to other forums.
Spam is free speach. And the laws limiting telemarketers show that our constution has eroded.
I have an E-mail account just for spam. I even get spam at my work account which I don't give out. So I do see the downside of it.
