For your information, the UK has just past a law that anyone sending
unwanted emails will be subject to a $8000 fine, and the rest of Europe will
follow soon. The problem is how do you collect fine in Korea.

Is anyone besides me getting a spam from Korea which you can't get rid of
it? Twice now I have received one, which, once clicked on to delete,
automatically sends you to a porno web site. Once there, there's no way
to
get rid of it, at least not with my limited experience with computers.
Three times I just turned off the computer then waited while it did a
Scandisk to verify for errors. Out of frustration, I finally deleted
the
Korea folder, which got rid of the email, then remade the Korea folder.
For the past year I've been shuttling the spam from Korea to a folder,
where
I do a bulk delete to simplify getting rid of the unwelcome garbage. It
makes me wonder aloud why I didn't (and now don't) simply send them to the
deleted items file.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm about up to my ears with junk mail
and
spam. So far as the phone goes, I no longer answer it. We screen the
calls with a message on our answering machine that tells friends to
identify
themselves, and for solicitors to hang up, that we do not accept calls
from
solicitors. It's surprisingly effective. Only about a half dozen
solicitors have talked to the machine in the past year or so. For the
most part, they comply by hanging up. Still, it's clearly a PIA to have
to
resort to such tactics. Seems we, the law abiding citizens, have given up
all our rights so those that prefer to live outside the law are guaranteed
they collect all of theirs. I clearly do not see how anyone has the
right
to disrupt my privacy, especially in an attempt to sell me aluminum
siding,
for which I have absolutely no need.

At what point will the lawmakers pull their heads out of their asses?
