And. of course, Spam Haters In The Business of Internet Resource Directory Services. ________
DEAR FELLOW SPAM HATERS,
I'm writing to
suggest that we combine forces in order to present a common front in our righteous war on unsolicited commercial email: Spam!
I suggest we disband the myriad sites and organizations now opposing unrequested email in order to form a single, unified organization:
The Spammish Inquisition!
And I further suggest we elect me, Linda Cox, as our leader.
WHAT ARE MY QUALIFICATIONS?
You think YOU hate spam? You don't even know what hate is!
I hate spam so much that I... well, just a LOT! That's how much!
If I hated spam any more than I already do, I think my head would burst into flames and spin like a top! Can you say that?
Don't think soooo....
I don't mean to say that I don't hate other things too, like pedophiles and nazis and that drunk guy who backed over my cat when I was seven.
But spam.... Hooboy!
SQUISH 'EM LIKE BUGS!
I believe we should have a constitutional amendment allowing cruel and unusual punishment in the case of spammers. Maybe that tummy thing like the Japanese do when they get depressed.
As with drugs, mere possession of bulk emailing software should result in the immediate confiscation of the computer it was on, as well as any nice clothes, jewelry, or lawn statuary that might been purchased with spam profits.
As far as unjustly
persecuting people for spamming simply on the basis of rumor and hearsay--well, that's pretty good the way it is.
IN CLOSING...
Yes, maybe my time would be better spent trying to end world hunger, comfort the sick, shelter the homeless, or outlaw country music.
But anyone who thinks that the war on spam is in any way less important than those has never logged onto their email account practically EVERY SINGLE DAY and had to delete SEVERAL
unwanted messages!
Yours in revulsion, disgust and utter skin-crawling contempt,
Linda Cox, G.I.W. (Grand Inquisatrix Wannabe)
