Umm...the US Postal Service is NOT free and I STILL get weekly credit card offers, biweekly sweepstakes entries, and almost daily supermarket fliers. What the fuck was the author of that article talking about?

Fett101:
Yeah, you may get a few each day or so, but you don't get 50 in one day.

Commander:
spam will soon be like popups... it can be controlled
i use thunderbird for my email and i do not get 50 spams a day, i assure you.  the builtin spam filter works like a charm after a few weeks.

and i second xeen.  charging wont help..  it will merely slow it down and, without a doubt, cause more problems then any one of us would like to handle.
