Spam finally eliminated!

The problem of unwanted email spam has been eliminated completely with today's long awaited passage of House Bill 27-234. Which places a tax on anyone admitting to receiving any unwanted email. Initially 35 cents per email on a sliding scale up to $4.37 in June of 2013.

Because it would place an unfair burden on the spammers themselves and because of ISP considerations, the tax was placed on the sendee rather than the sender. The number of admitted unwanted emails is expected to shortly and dramatically drop.

Thus eliminating unwanted spam once and for all. Additional details are found at <

That seems to be quite reasonable to me. Let those who sprinkle their email addresses around the internet with fair abandon bear the full burden of their misdeeds!

On a lighter note, I'd imagine the tinja.com address gets spammed pretty heavily. It would be interesting to do an analysis of the rates and types over time.

That might just work, it would get enough people really pissed off, enough so, that the congress would get complaints up the wazoo that never ended till they stopped the spam. Mikek :-)

Very few people are aware that the word "gullible" does not appear in any major dictionary or spell checker?

The term applied to both the participants in the following conversation: Gullible Person 1: Did you know that 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary? Gullible Person 2: Really? (Checks dictionary) Gullible Person 2: Wow! It really isn't in the dictionary! Gullible Person 1: Oh my God! Give me a look!

This is a total YGBSM. All people will do is quit reporting it.

Punish the recipient? Isn't that like the jackbooted nazi thugs selling a lid of pot to a kid, then busting him for possession?

Thanks, Rich

Yeah, I bit. (see upthread), but it pushed my "Government is EVIL!" button. ;-)

Do you know that there's a hotline for the latest Polak joke? Just dial "INQUIRE."
