It's a start

Four people have been charged under the government's new "can spam" laws.

It's a drop in the bucket of spam that you and I get each day, but it's a start. I personally like the
quote from one lawyer, "No one's done this before," Feinberg said. "It will be fun -- not for my client but for me professionally."
Yeah...you enjoy that! If that was my lawyer, he'd be looking for a new client real fast.
With any luck they'll be found guilty which will set a nice precedent for future prosecutions.
I'm just hoping it's the start of a wave to clean up my inbox. I can't tell you how many emails we get each
week to addresses at simpleprop that don't even exist. And most of them have to do with custom logos. A guy
named Travis whose email starts nxcxyxwo@, or Beckie - bdztntgh@, or Claude - shiang-_ykrogman4280@.
The Daily Show had a great piece a few weeks ago where they interviewed a guy who calls himself something like,
a "high volume emailer". Anyway, the guy is complaining that he is getting flooded with emails from people,
because he is a high volume emailer, that he never asked for and they are filling up his inbox. It's all so
deliciously ironic. The best part is that they show a clip of him giving out his private email at the end of
the segment. Just fantastic. The shocking thing, is that this guy is making tens of thousands of dollars each
month!
Enough rambling...enjoy your weekend... Go T-Wolves!
