I think the problem is that most of the spam is coming from overseas, so US authorities cannot really do much about it. I think the ISP's just have to do a better job eliminating it. I've used AOL for my email for many years, and it's amazing how good they have gotten in the last 2-3 years at eliminating spam. I rarely get a spam email these days -- maybe 2-3 per week at most.

Teah I get at most 10 in one day on Yahoo. So I can't really gripe.

Eric, that's like a headline that reads,
"First murderer on planet finally caught and sentenced"...
in the year 2007 of entire world history.

One guy: BFD.

I'm so sick of spam I could puke...there is so much of it, I'm not sure
which "kind" p's me off more. For a starter, catch the sob story authors,
mostly out of Africa, UK, HK and string those fookers up; next would be
the penny stock pumpers, then...

For the record, my new GOOGMail email is spam free after 3 days, lol!,
and hasn't been sniffed out by the punqeazz idiots or bots...yet.
