Hi,

I find this one very difficult to call. We all get "unsolicited communications" by a caller at the door, a telephone call, snail mail and e-mail?

If the caller does NOT hide who they are, and does NOT use the resources of computers that they do not own, then I think that they have the right to do so, even if I am not interested in their product? Otherwise, I would say that the logical conclusion would be to ban all advertising as "intrusive".

What really gets to me are these adverts that come via all sorts of unprotected servers, and are totally irrelevant..."offer applies to the US and Canada only"...........I live in bloody England mate! so why send it to me?

I am in the process of renovating an old house, and I would guess that the unsolicited communications I have received saved me in excess of $50,000 in the past two years. Why? because if I call them it is a seller's market; if they call me it is a buyer's market I have even had around $5,000 "income" in money or extras, because neighbours have seen what was done for me, and got the same guys in to do it for them. That I call normal commercial activity.

I go back to the relevancy..........if they do not "profile" and they use other people's resource they are pond life.

At the moment, I think that the best solution would be the public castration of the sysadmins of those servers that the spammers use

Cheers
