Spam: Has it become a stalemate? (CNN) -- "On a typical day, Hotmail subscribers collectively receive more than 1 billion pieces of junk e-mail. Such spam accounts for 80 percent of messages received -- not including mail blocked by Hotmail's first line of filters." (Comments: While I don't want to literally kill spammers, I want to kill their activity. Therefore, as I have outlined, I think it is time to create a spammer killer community.)

Utah man sues Sprint over spam -- "Snuffer said Gillman was pushed to the brink of the suit when he had five minutes to access his e-mail one day and spent the first four minutes going through 40 spam messages. He had time to read only one of the two messages he had received from friends that day, Snuffer said."

I think when we look back in history one day, you will see that MSN is getting kickbacks for letting this happen. I cannot believe the amount of spam I get...and they don't let you filter your junk mail box. What gives?!?!?!?
