SMS Story (none / 0) (#3)

I am about to deploy my own means of fighting back at these insipid and idiotic spam messages. Although I don't use SMS, I do get my fair share of spam via email, and not just obvious spam, stuff from major corporations like AT&T, Kodak, my bank, and a host of others. Stuff I do not agree that I authorized. I plan to create my own terms of use agreement, and fire it right back at all of these companies. My terms of service will be that they have already agreed to them by virtue of sending unwanted email to me, and that they agree to pay the invoice I plan to send for wasting my time. If I do this right, maybe I can recover something for the wasted time I've lost over the last few years.
