Some people think they can stop spam by complaining.  NOT gonna happen.  Spam has been the bane of the internet almost from its inception.  The only way to slow it down is for the "powers" that be to track down the purveyors and shut them off.  But, even then they'll be back within a few days on a new server in nefarious country that refuses to monitor or contain them.

jeaanne, Ralph, Yup. Complaining won't do much to resolve the issue. I'm thinking that in one form or another, spam will remain as long as the internet.

Hi Grant, I too receive a lot of spam but I resolved many of my problems. I opened a gmail account and send all my personal store coupons going here instead of my Keller Williams email for my business.so when I have to register, I give my gmail and then I can see a pattern of who is selling my email info.

Grant, I like your attitude, we do have many bigger problems than spam, and yes asking the government to fix this problem will surely backfire and likely get legitimate business people in trouble rather than the true spammers.

Thanks for the new perspective.
