The ensuing discussion on MacCentral is actually more interesting than the article - some interesting issues to think about.

The MacCentral discussion thread would seem to confirm the wisdom of Techsurvivors banning  heavy-duty political content.

Well it would be nice it it actually happened, but when you look at a company  such as Yahoo and Hotmail who tries to sell you an spam toom makes me wonder if they are the ones giving out the info in the first place.

I am careful about giving out my email address to companies over the net and I am glad to be able to take a spammer to court now if they start with the spamming again.

On the other hand, I wish they would do something aboutr that product called spam too.  what the hell is it?  it's nasty and smells like road kill.

Has anyone ever eaten any spam sushi?  blah! unsure.gif
