Sure. I agree with that, no shoes no shirt, if you are on AOL you accept "internet-lite".
The gubmint isn't doing SQUAT, except forcing AOL to allow the spammers access.
Right now. Yet it has been apparent to me that many people are begging for restrictions to be put in place. Restrictions on spammers. The government saying anything about regulation of the internet is bad... Yet people still scream about a couple of unwanted e-mails. I'm saying that this spammer thing could be the "kink in our armour" that lets the government into our little playground here. Just suck it up and delete those messages. Jog it off.
