Kevin brought up a legitimate concern. Twice in the last week I've come close to deleting messages that at first glance I thought were spam but were actually legitimate and pretty important. I would estimate that I get at least 20 per day - some of which is filtered into a junk mail section but not all of it. I would love to find some way to stop it! And I don't think the burden should be on the people who receive it - i.e. dummy e-mail addresses, etc. It should be illegal to send it.

Unbelievably, there must be people who buy from these folks, just as there must be people who buy from telemarketers, or they wouldn't do it!
