This morning, I only had 663 pieces of spam in my inbox. Daily, it can range up to 1200
per day. Guess how many of them I read. :} Fortunately, I get my real email from another
account.
I believe the bulk of the anti-spam legislation being proposed is fair and reasonable.
The idea that people should be forced to endure the work and frustration of dealing with
countless advertisements is ludicrous.
The only particular addition I would make, however, is that advertisers and promoters
should be required to use email addresses from opt-in lists only, and not email at will
unless otherwise notified. Otherwise, the heart of the problem will not be addressed.

be removed from marketing lists
