Pastimes : THE SLIGHTLY MODERATED BOXING RING -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

I can see friends and acquaintances from whom we do want mail being discouraged by having to take that "manual" extra step, registering to send em's to us. Yes, that's a problem. There's no perfect solution. I used to have a device on my phone that blocked phone calls unless you knew the password. Enter the password or the phone doesn't ring. I missed a few calls over that and my friends were inconvenienced by having to key four more numbers. But my phone never again rang in the middle of the night. Like my phone treatment, the approach ChoiceMail takes is the only way to stop spam absolutely. The others just slow it down a bit. Like you, I decided that I could cope with a few a day. Today it's extended car warranties and cheap life insurance. Sigh.
