Don’t we all hate spam?

“Don’t we all hate spam?”
That’s the question of the day. And here’s my answer.

No, we don’t all hate spam, because there are quite a lot of people who do it for a living. Yes, it is illegal, especially the ones with the scams, but… did you know? We’ve probably all sent out at least one piece of unsolicited e-mail.

Have you ever passed on a piece of chain mail for fun? Yes? No? If you can answer yes to this question, you may have played a part in a violation of the conditions of use for your e-mail service. Windows Live Mail, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and many other e-mail providers all have regulations against chain mail and similar communications that serve little purpose, and cause damages to the operations of the servers. Congratulations if you can answer no.

Have you ever received a piece of e-mail that was just too funny to ignore? And if so, did you pass it on? To as many of your contacts as you could? Ah… shame on you. I know that I don’t get very offended when humorous pieces of e-mail are forwarded to me, but quite often they’re just junk. Funny, perhaps, but you don’t know that all the recipients will agree.

This is a short message, but an important one. Don’t create, send, or propagate SPAM, and don’t pass on chain mail! I know entirely that I would not like to receive junk mail in my FreddyWare Administration account.
