Okay, maybe not rude or crude, but definitely unnecessary, pointless, and presumptuous......presumptuous because you seem to think you have the right to determine how the internet is used, what type email is sent, etc. All businesses advertise and solicit clients. Otherwise they go out of business. Apparently you have never been in business yourself. Obviously, if you respond to all unsolicited email in such a manner,you must have a lot of free time on your hands. Nobody makes you read all the email you get, you know. If you don't like it, don't read it. Doesn't cost you anything. However, many of us find out about lots of new products and services this way, and we certainly do not need to have you running around policing the internet for us. Why don't you concern yourself with other, more important issues. Maybe you and Al Gore can tackle that darn "global warming" problem we've had for so long now. Do us all a big favor. Talk about a waste of resources, do you really think your post here contributed anything meaningful to this thread? Really??

Scott, I appreciate your post about spam from Cyber. Spam is wrong and not cost free as any thinking person who uses the net knows. It is appropriate to call Mr. Berber on this in a public forum. And as I am sure you are aware, responding to those who try to police threads like this is a waste of time. It is best to simply ignore them. I find that people who constantly try to police threads rarely have anything of value to say and that is true in spades on this thread.
