I believe we all (myself included) tend to miss
the absurdity of this whole thing, as embroiled
as we are in the spam-wars aspect...
How absurd is it that someone, having been in
essence shown a sign reading 'No Solicitation'
or more to the point 'No Viagra Salesmen' on
our front doors (SPAM filters) would, none the
less and without knocking, show up at dinner time
and without knocking, barge into our homes and
try to tell us 'I'm not a Viagra salesman, I'm
here to sell you Vayahghrua.' ?
On what planet and in whose mind does it seem
that we're going to say... 'Oh, never mind. As
it turns out I really *do* want what you're
selling, here's my credit-card number!' ?
What I'm saying, I guess is 'SPAMmers, what's
really the point? To prove that you can get into
our mailboxes regardless? If you're really
selling something, why would you want to spend
money sending to people who've told you 'no,
no, a thousand times no!' already'?
Geez!
