Spam is bad!

...and I'm not refering to the pink meat known by it's manufacturer as SPAM, but to the scourge of all Internet users everywhere: junk email. Stuff that you didn't want to receive, wether it be from somebody selling porn or the retailer you purchased a book from 2 years ago.

There is lots to say on this subject, but if you dislike getting junk email, then the following is worth reading and is a good policy to follow:

The Boulder Pledge

“Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message. Nor will I forward chain letters, petitions, mass mailings, or virus warnings to large numbers of others. This is my contribution to the survival of the online community.”

— Roger Ebert, December, 1996

"I don't like Spam"

Remember the Monty Python "Spam" sketch? If you do then you will remember this phrase... if not, google for it!

What I am saying though is that I don't like Spam. It is my aim to make this site as spam-free as possible. All email accounts are filtered and any spammers reported to me will be dealt with most severely. If I receive spam from somebody I deal with they get one chance to fix it... if I get spammed again then I will never deal with that organisation again. All spam gets reported to Spamcop and I use a number of lists to block spammers, persistent or otherwise.
