There are people who save apoplectic at the time of receipt of unsolicited commercial email, often dubbed spam. These are the same people that hundreds of bulk letters addressed to "Occupant" without batting an eye. Getting rid of junk mail means sorting through the stack to pull out the major pieces and then dumping the rest in the Recycle Bin.
The garbage piles in landfills and Ocean dumping grounds, while the trees continue to fall to more and more paper. Email can quickly be scanned and then removed, forever disappear into cyberspace, caused no pollution or building and require no consumption of non-renewable resources.
My Inbox is I headed to the world, daily scanned with excited eyes for this unexpected pieces that appear out of nowhere. I've found of delicious deals, developed new areas of interest, and have followed seductive links to websites that everlasting favorites-all because of unsolicited messages.
My answer is that, unless I shamelessly pornographic material, spam, and I hope it keeps coming. Unfortunately, those who feel the purity of the Internet is somehow violated, have resulted in a cyber world where everything requires confirmation, double or triple opt-in lists, bounce incoming messages by non-intelligent filters, and calls on multiple complaints to Internet service providers (ISPs) who are compelled to investigate and respond.
The Internet is so great because it is very resistant to the urge to co-opting by the Government, large corporations and the rich and powerful. It is the great leveler where even the most humble can connect with the world. We will fight to maintain that, even if that 30 minutes of our precious daily time means spent removing unwanted messages.
