Hmm, interesting twist there, hobo (slush fund) <G>; wish I'd
thought of it that way. I agree most politicians aren't
"stupid", but most ARE ignorant (in Webster's sense) of spam. I
have dealt with a few and am presently dealing with three of them
about spam, and all but one pretty freely admit they are ignorant
about spam, depend on their "advisors" for input, and "follow the
general concensus" of their constituents. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
So, OK, I'll admit they aren't stupid, but I do still stand by my
previous comment about their MO. They not only don't know much
about spam, but are not inclined to become educated, either,
unless they can make a major PR or plank out of it, which a few
have done.
You're certainly entititled to your own opinion, and the
situation may very slowly be changing, but if you'd like to see
where I come from, here are two exercises you may find
interesting:
1. Initiate a contact with your own reps/sens on the matter.
2. Go to the House/Senate sites and read some of the debates on
the internet where spam is concerned. It makes for an
interesting historical account if you can wade through the yadda
yadda.
Regards,
Tom
