If the spammers win, they lose. Don't they realize that the more they spam the less useful email is and the fewer people will use it? I already have family and friends who are abandoning email because they cannot wade through all the junk. Many are switching to free long distance via cell phone to communicate.

Cell phones? Pah![ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#11)

Where is this? Europe? I have never heard of free anything with a cell phone in north america (or japan). Usually, if it's free with a landline it's expensive with a cell phone and if it's expensive with a landline it's ludicrously expensive with a cell phone. Then there's all the other stuff that doesn't even apply to landlines, like ringtones -- also expensive.

Sometimes the phone is free, but invariably it's with strings attached that end up costing you a fortune.
