It's Time To Slam Spam Once And For All

摘要

Some time ago, I commented on the increasing amount of junk E-mail most of us are receiving ("Swimming In A Sea Of Spam," May 21, 2001, p. 122; informatlonweek.com/838/secret/htm). It's gotten to the point I'm afraid I'm going to wind up with carpal tunnel syndrome from the repetitive motion of hitting the delete key. Besides my normal plague of meaningless business E-mails, I get a lot of stuff sent to lovelace@home. Interspaced with the letters from readers, which I thoroughly enjoy (please don't stop), are some really strange unsolicited messages—get-rich schemes, potions to enhance various body parts (several of which are gender-specific), and some really vile pornography.
