The Harvesters - Part 2 by Laurie Rogers Copyright 2001
Remember from part one, we are not talking about those folks who
pick veggies out of the garden in the fall. This is definitely
NOT an episode from Martha Stewart, although I'm curious to know
how get my tomatoes to stop bruising, ooops, sorry got a little
side tracked for a moment! It happens to the best of us,
espicially when you're weeding (pardon the pun) through all that
spam trying to find your "real" email messages.
You know the important stuff, that really does need your FULL
attention. And half the time you can't find it because it's
buried under all that JUNK MAIL, I know how you feel, somedays
I'd like to run to the highe (read full article) |

The Harvesters - Part 1 by Laurie Rogers Copyright 2001
Before you start reading this article, I need to clear something
up. We're not talking about the people that gather in the fall
to pick all those luscious goodies out of gardens every year! I
am sorry to disappoint you, I am sure that would have made for a
pretty interesting topic, and they probably do not get the
credit they deserve. But I have something a lot MORE exciting to
talk about.Â
Today, we're going to talk about all of the wonderful folks who
LOVE to go around picking email addresses! You must know who I
am talking about now? They all have nothing better to do, so
they roam around the internet and hit every web site, ezi (read full article) |

One of the hottest discussion topics going around the web these
days is Spam. Spam is different things to different people, but
basically it is sending email advertisements to anyone who did
not request them or give permission to send them.
I do not consider an email from an acquaintance telling me
something they think might interest me- spam. I do not consider
people telling me about their business and asking for
advice-spam. I do not consider advertisements from companies I
have asked about-spam. I do not consider an invitation from a
publisher to join their opt-in list-spam. However, these
invitations should not be sent out in mass mailings.
There are, however, many things that I do co (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Good Spam or Bad Spam...What is the Difference? |
| |
|
Are you Good Spam or Bad Spam? This is the question I find
echoing in my head sometimes when I am going through my email,
as if it is part of some electronic Wizard of Oz. Have you ever
given any thought to the fact that there really is a difference
in spam? Not that I am defending anyone, but let me make my
point and then you can decide for yourself.
Spam is such a hot issue and no one knows the "right" view of
spam that fits everyone. You either: - will take all measures to
prevent people from sending it to you - don't mind it at all and
happily delete, delete, delete every day - OR hate it sometimes
and ignore it other times.
I think I fall in the last category, which is what started m (read full article) |

6/18/02 Talking about the big S. Don’t let the young folk read.
Yup, That’s what I’m going to talk about. SPAM. I’ve seen from
my inbox this is a subject that can’t be covered enough. I’m not
going to cover the legal issues, such as getting you Internet
service turned off. I’m not going to discuss the moral, or
ethical or any other philosophical issues. I’m going to tell you
exactly how it’s killing your chances at making money.
I run ads every week for NetSteals News in the ezines I get,
just as you run ads in this. What, you didn’t think I got
ezines? Sure, tons of them and read ‘em too. In order to
advertise NN, I have to give my email address so people can

| Article Title :: Trapped Between Abusers and Accusers. It's a Spam Sandwich! |
| |

This week was dominated by SPAM issues for me. I alternate
between stunned and complacent over SPAM I receive each day. One
day my delete-key-trigger-finger works in rapid bursts to clear
the inbox. The next day brings a new barrage and I fume as the
HTML SPAM emails launch web browser windows automatically that
can't be closed without opening more windows.
Each time Java is launched while I'm reviewing my mail, I almost
explode in anger as there is literally nothing I can do to stop
it until it loads the email, pops up a browser window and I can
finally begin to close the rapid fire group of popup windows
attempting to show hardcore porn or the latest body enhancing
pills.

| Article Title :: "Fighting SPAM!" |

Junk email is estimated to have grown about 42% during 2001,
with the seemingly non-stop invasion of X-rated email, scam
offers from Nigeria, drugs and other such unwanted intrusions.
Analysts predict that the volume of email on the Internet, most
of it junk, will grow another 50 percent in 2002.
That is a lot of email!
With estimates that the number of Internet users is nearing the
1 billion mark, the amount of email floating around the Internet
will only continue to increase.
The question many people want to ask is, "Are there any
sure-fire cures for all this junk email that we receive right
now and any more that may appear in the coming years?"
The short answer - Yes.

We receive such a tremendous amount of unsolicited commercial
email (spam) in our In-Box every day, we can certainly
understand why some people become "Anti-Spam" crusaders. Since
the majority is sent with phony return addresses, it is
virtually impossible to track them down. While there are ways to
find out where it originated, it is usually an exercise in
futility, as most come from professional spam houses who own
their own servers, and aren't about to shut themselves down.
Most people simply delete the clutter, or create filters with
their email package to automatically get rid of a lot of it.
There are some however, whose primary mission in life is to get
rid of all the spam on the In (read full article) |
