Spam is NOT Progressive
I just got through with a back-and-forth emailing session with my ISP. It seems that somebody is sending out unsolicited email with the Bush Body Count referenced in the email. Did you know that when your link is spammed, even if you didn't send the spam, that you can be reported to Spam Cop and possibly blacklisted?

I finally got it straightened out, and the site is safe, but I wonder if people who send out spam know that it's not only their reputation that they're harming? Or do they care?

Spammers are despicable. They should be force-fed Viagra until their ding-dongs explode. The thing is, it's not only Viagra and enlarge-your-penis spam that I get - I get political "newsletters" from people whom I don't know, that I never signed up for. I don't have time for unsolicited newsletters - I subscribe to the ones I like to read, which I do when I'm not deleting spam.

Spam is NOT progressive, and a progressive site that sends spam is only hurting the cause.

I realize that this is not a candidate-bashing thread, and it will probably sink like a stone.

3. Yikes. Wouldn't have even thought of that happening
to someone's site. Glad that you worked it out.

I noticed a new odd spam phenom. We have two computers in the house and one printer on the blink. send things from this computer to the other. The new spam only comes in the middle of a quick batch of mail. Like it leeches on to the mail. What i mean - as mail is retrieved on that computer - the spam is never before the new mail (eg came in before the first message was sent) or the after the email (came in after the sent mail). So I might send five documents in a period of 5 minutes. And the only time spam arrives is between document 2 and 3, and 4 and 5? HMMMMMMMMM. This has only been happening in the past couple of days.
