My first reaction to this thread was "Yeah! Let's outlaw spam!". But
then it occurred to me that the Internet already gives me more control
over this stuff than I have now with junk mail and phone calls.
Unless the spam situation gets worse (and the only spam I've gotten in
a month or more was Nazi propaganda from a forged address) I'm
inclined to think legislation would create more problems than it
solves.
