1. Comment - Spammer pokes holes in Virginia anti-spam law, gets set free

   (Sep 13, 2008 - 3:16 PM)

   I wanted to add that at times I have had more than 980 emails in the inbox at one time. and it does take time to delete them. What is easiest to accomplish is for a service like Yahoo or Gmail that allows you to tick one box at the top and delete the whole page. There are some emails that require you to look at each one if you want to delete it and that is bad for their business because customers [like me] get provoked quickly with that plan. But email if not sent by the hundreds of thousands or not offering illegal or immoral products is not harmful, any more than receiving grocery ads in the US mail is. It is the emails that have malicious intent to steal your identity, or your bank info, or your email or domain, or your business that are the bad kind of emails. Those should be prosecuted when they are caught, and citizens should help the feds catch them by reporting those type activities or evidence of, to the feds cybercrime and the local PD cybercrime. signed gloria poole, RN of Denver CO 80203

   I am glad that the Wise folks in Va decided that citizens have the right, indeed the duty to canvas for votes for the issues they care about, i.e. political speech. We also have the right to distribute religious emails without harassment from the governments and without any one counting them! There were certain groups that were using that 'can-spam' thing to censor any form of speech if the person was not in their political party. That is wrong.
   I am very glad the First Amendment wins because it is a win-win for the nation. As for what is called 'junk mail' I get that kind of marketing mail in my US mail and I don't go wild when it happens. It is one of the ways legitimate companies also do business.
   The effort should be on preventing phishing and theft, and cybercrime; but unsoliticted emails could be dealt with via filters.
