Woohoo - maybe the Chinese government's control of free speech isn't such a bad thing. No more

Not a bad idea that, shame they can't do that here.
Sick of the crap I get through and junk mail filters are starting to become useless, at times filtering out stuff I want ...not adverts.

The only reason that anyone gets spam, is because they are not very discreet in to whom they give their email address. Since 2001, I may have gotten 3-4 spams. With a good email client that can filter spam, you shouldn't ever see them, unless you want to. I'd just as soon keep things as they are, rather than follow any model from China.

I'd give you good odds you will have missed out on quite a few emails that were legit too. Email addresses can be bought like a lot of private details.

No, I seriously doubt it. Due to the fact that I get email notification of posts on the forum, through my ISP account, and more important email through Gmail, I do not believe that I ever miss anything. If I were sent an email that I didn't expect, then I wouldn't want it anyway. I'm one of those people that read the privacy policies of websites pretty closely and with a skeptical eye.

Yeah thats another point, there are members of message boards who will do that sort of thing after a flame war with someone.

Peoples-Agent · 02-23-06, 10:52 AM

Yeah, your right.

Regardless of what disagreement I have with peeps, that is something i'd never do. Petty and turd brained and completely justifies their arguments with you to start with.

I think in a way spam is sort of a pleasant thing. Since I don't have any friends and therefore recieve more spam than real email, it's nice to know that someone out there is concerned about helping me get a larger wang, cheap prescription medicine, or genuine high quality Jolex watches.

hahahah.....

I've been getting seriously weird ones lately, usually from a chick with an obscure name and it's literally just a page of random odd words trying to be an English sentence and a link that you just know leads to a virii of sorts.

The title will read ....

"Chic Rubar Mariello Mongovski F**k"

Then it reads along the lines of ....

Wisdom , health care matter once before nice roses in bed hat.

One reason that I do not publish my address on any forum.
