   I think the can-spam should require the opt-in approach. That way if I didn't request the email, then I don't get it. I think isp and software spam filters have reduced spam more than can-spam will.

   I've been dealing with spam for so long I cant even imagine a world without spam.... I think I'd get depressed due to not having hordes of e-mail to delete every day. I'd feel like I'm unloved or something.

I think the only people who will seriously miss spam are the people who don't have a life and say to their friends, look i have 35 messages. Where 34 are spam, and 1 is a message from MSN.

   Personally, I've seen a rise in the spam I get....not sure why (no, Poert.....it's not a self-inflicted wound :P).

   Can't say that I've noticed any difference in SPAM levels. SPAM filter accuracy has been getting better, but as long as people purchase item's that are SPAM'd into their inbox's; there's going to be SPAM.

   70% of emails are SPAM ? It's terrible.Actually, Gmail's filters are great. I'm not getting many SPAM and those who infiltrate are not so bad On a private POP3 account, the situation is worse. Every second mail is SPAM :[color=red][i]Watch your language. We don't tolerate swearing here.--Mictlantecuhtli[/i][/color]

   For some reason, I dont get any spam on my hotmail account. I like it alot. Heck, I use that for almost everything I do on the internet. I guess hotmail is just really good in controlling spam. On my other account, Verizon, its completely unbearable. I get atleast 5-10 emails everyday and in no time my mailbox is full. Makes me sick.
