Forget the Spammers[ Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#6)

If you want to eliminate SPAM, go after the companies that hire them. I know you can not go after them legally, but the power of the boycott is very powerful. I remember, in college, a marketing professor told me that a 'satisfied customer will tell a few friends and a dissatisfied one will tell dozens'. Let these companies know that if they use spammers, they will pay a price.

That's a good idea. It's such a good idea that California made it illegal to operate a website that spamvertised. It's such a good idea that the Yes-you-CAN-SPAM act pre-empted and nullified the California law, so it's not illegal after all. Thanks, feds: you knew how much we really love spam.
