So, what happens when the FTC, which is today very business-friendly,
decides to place no restriction at all on "real Commercial" spam?
Given the current politics in Washington, that seems like a likely
scenario. Yet, this spam is the most hard-to-filter, and it may soon
become the dominant component of spam. I for one don't want to see my
email box filled with junk as my postal mailbox is.
