I am listing this item not because it is new but because the information in it is solid. Among its most salient points: "never, never, ever reply to spam, or use the suggested 'remove' method that is often shown at the end of the mail." Also, "never, never, ever buy anything from someone who sends you unsolicited advertising by e-mail, even if the product is something you want!" And finally, "It's getting worse. Much worse. Why? Because spamming is profitable. Just a small portion of the millions of victims find the ads interesting, or the product touted potentially useful, so they buy... so, again, don't buy from them! Don't multiply your own victimization!"
