If we the netizens do what the spammers do, arn't we committing an illegal act? Lets put it to you this way, if a company builds a product that no one likes or needs what happens to that commpany? They won't be in business for very long because they won't make any money. Spammer are enterprising people, they advertise for free and get a response. If I sent out 10 million e-mails to get people to buy my Super Heath Power Pyramid and 5% of that 10 mil resonded, I made money!! But if nobody responds, then why would I continue with the venture. It's really simple folks, Don't Respond to Spam!!! Just delete it and go on with your life. If you use Outlook Express or Outlook turn the preview pane off and delete the offending e-mail. If the E-Mail came from someone or someplace that you don't know, delete it!!! I have been in the computer industry since 1992, and I've seen every type of scam on the web, and the only reason it still exists is because people are responding to these E-Mails. Control the impulse just delete it!!! Illegal & Immoral????
