Eventually, all spam, and spamscam, would stop if everyone followed the advice of film critic Roger Ebert. He wrote in *Yahoo*: Last spring I was on a panel about "Bad Manners on the Net" at the Conference on World Affairs at the University of Colorado. We agreeed that junk e-mail (then no more than a mote in the eye) could eventually bring the whole cooperative endeavor of online mail crashing to its ruin. On the spot, I devised the Boulder Pledge, and we solemnly crossed our hearts and took it. The Boulder Pledge Under no circumstances will I ever purchase *anything* offered to me as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message. Nor will I forward chain letters, petitions, mass mailings, or virus warnings to large numbers of others. This is my contribution to the survival of the online community. The Boulder Pledge works by making junk mail unprofitable. If nobody *ever buys anything,* spammers eventually will quit. I hope. End the Plague. Raise your right hand. Read aloud [the Boulder Pledge]. Then, pass it on, via Email to 10 or 20 of your concerned friends. Thanks. -- http://131.107.1.68/bbs/msnbc-commerce/710.htm
