i have a real problem with porn spam.. my son used to run a site that had a free X rated component, (he archived the erotica newsgroup BB) some cookie i got some time tracked where i went, and when it was recorded that i went to an X rated site, i just got bombarded with porn mail.

lately, there has been a slight improvement, some spammers are starting there subject with ADV.- (and there are laws being comtimplated to require that in all unsolicited email advertizement..) most of us don't fall for junk mail, no matter how much they dress up the envelopes, we know if it is 'bulk delivery' rate, its junk.

but, i still open some 'junk mail'- i buy my checks from large print houses that advertize in 'valpack coupons', and often find coupons for services i use in those same valpacks. but its easy for me to tell whats what..

unfortunately, spam ads are here to stay. but if they were required to say ADV it would be easy to sort, and discard them.. and obviously, porn sites are very profitable.. they are not going to go away.. but if they were also required to say 'porn', again i could easily sort and discard (or save if i was interested!) Some body is interested...

i think what i hate most is the deception. (no body likes junk snail mail, but it doesn't seem to anger people as much as junk email.)
