Why Spam Threatens To Destroy The Internet
Sep 7, 2008 at 09:56AM
Spam is Taxation Without Representation.
The problem seems to be that people would rather complain than do anything about the problem. I joined the Stumbleupon Anti-spam Group is hopes of getting some support for actively taking on spammers but instead of help and participation I was trashed, called a spammer and made out to be a fool by the majority of those who commented. And none offered to help with my plan. Almost a year later I revisited the Stumbleupon Anti-spam Group and found nothing but more bitching.
Then I clicked the Stumble button and found this. I gave it a green thumbs up. That's when the truth came to me: The members of the Stumbleupon Anti-spam group represent the population as a whole and most people prefer bitching over doing.
When I first came up with the idea I didn't know enough about the technology to make it work-- now I do. All I want is enough people to pledge their support for my plan and I promise an end to spam. I'm through with fighting alone and cannot personally afford the monetary costs of yet another Internet failure. This would be a great project for retired persons who care about their grandchildren or anyone who cares about the future of the Internet and the economy that is built around it.
Just so you know, my proposed War Against Spam has scared a few spammers to the point that they call and e-mail me sometimes threatening me and sometimes begging to negotiate their own surrender thus proving my idea can work.
If you want to see the threat I've used to successfully take down spammers... Well, that was the link.

I consdier it like smog, it is a way to deal with pervasive and intrusive surveillance in our society. Put in enough spam in the inbox and you won't be able to tell what truly belongs to a person or a spammer. I get so much spam that it is unbelievable. There is more spam than real messages, but I know if someone tries to check my inbox without permission they will never know is real or not.
Have a nice day.
