To use your own analogy its like TV advertisers being able to force you to watch their ads even when the TV is turned OFF. :)
Not quite, you don't have to watch TV and neither do you have to be connected to the Internet (mmm, perhaps that last premise is just too hard for people on this list (:-))
It's all too easy for people to throw their hands in the air and just give up in the face of what seems like a losing battle, but as soon as we do that, the spammers have won.
That's what I'm saying about the people who run and own the Internet - they're the same people as the spammers - the lunatics have taken over the asylum!
