Y'all --
I've noticed a dramatic increase in the amount of junk email arriving to
my accounts, like from one a week to five a day, in the last month. I
don't know if it's just me or if it's happening to other people on the
net. I have a feeling it's the latter. I'm writing to find out and to
discuss taking action against it.
As we all know, there are lots of bills and lawsuits being proposed to
deal with the problem. Some seem good, some make me very uncomfortable.
I'd rather talk with a bunch of other computer literate lefties about
taking direct action. That's why I'm writing pen-l.
One idea that comes to mind is keeping an extra core dump around on one
of the computers I administer, with a header something like, "This is a
BTOA-coded response to your letter," so that I can attach it as needed.
Another is to simply flood people with fake or confusing responses.
All of this would be more effective if it were somehow organized, e.g.,
so 100 people could send some system a huge message like a core dump and
potentially overwhelm it. Enough reports about these things happening
to business who do junk mail could potentially dissuade them. I know that
some of this is likely to be illegal, but I don't know what or how
illegal. If anyone knows a lawyer who knows the consequences of various
actions and has ideas of how to avoid certain charges, that'd be great.
Perhaps we could also take advantage of our being an international
network. But it would be nicer if we could do things that didn't get
anyone in trouble.
I think the time to stop junk e-mail is now, before it gets out of hand
and too big to deal with.
Curious for any thoughts,
Tavis

***Here is just one of many true success stories we have seen...
We did a mailing of 1 1/2 million emails for one of our customers. He
was selling a home workers manual for $29.95. His results are very
typical and scary. He took in over 700 orders! 700 x $29.95 = $20,000.
This gentleman was so amazed, that after being skeptical, it had
really happened to him, he made it, he found a niche. That niche
was email! He went on to buy our full list and will be set for life in less
than a years time. All this from selling a manual via email.
That was just one of the many success stories we hear everyday.
