The hypocrisy amazes me.. the internet is a living thriving thing.. it is not YOUR internet.. it is not private.. it's not my internet.. it's everybody's internet. It's like walking down the street.. If you want privacy.. create an INTRAnet... if i invade your intranet.. then i'm violating computer crimes laws...

Hooper, the Internet may not be mine, but the servers the mail is sent to are, the computer it ends up on is, and the costs associated come from my pocket.

If you want to compare the Internet to walking down the street, then the Internet needs to be edited in the same way a street is ... There are no beastiality stores on 5th avenue, there's no kiddy porn outlet, there's no rape taking place in the middle of the road.

You want to be able to communicate with everybody freely.. you want everything to be free... and you want profit makers to bear the burden for your entertainment. Cept you wanna make money on porn, you want your servers to be inexpensive (*cough*subsidised by mailers since they pay about 10x what you pay just to exist*cough*) and you want your email box to be 100% empty of everything that you did not opt in to.

Am i on target?

oh puhlease
subsidized by mailers?!?!? Mailers pay 10 times what others pay?!?

get a grip on reality hooper, all those dollars you are making are starting to go to your head.

I hope you have a planB for the day your email won't reach anybody on aol or hotmail addresses or anyone using a microsoft email program, or for when you piss off someone just a bit too much with your 30 emails at a time trick and can't find hosting anywhere but russia. It would be sad to watch you go the path of so many other spammers before you who weren't prepared for a change ... or worse, sued by aol.

I'd love to be in the courtroom when you try to defend yourself using the things you've said in this thread.
