Some people need to act their age. ;)

... or a news story about a evil, pompous, self-important radio show host who is so full of &#$* that he can't get it.... never mind. I digress.


The poster has a point though. There is a certain attitude that spam, like junkmail, is "just a way of life". This is poppycock. Neither mail or email were designed for mounds of unsolicited junk that is destroying the internet and our planet. If people get off their butts and take affirmative steps to voice displeasure at their existence, more will be done to at all levels to work against them. Email is a personal communication. If people expect a level of <gasp>privacy</gasp>, they are somewhat justified. What about children with email accounts? Should they be subjected to such things?

Children should be supervised. This holds just as true for them reading email as it does for playing in the park. If you don't want the crust old pervert contacting them ion either place you make sure they're watched.


Email is not a private form of communications by any means, so any expectations for privacy are unfounded. That people are often misinformed on things is hardly novel.

If people want privacy in their email then they should use mechanisms to assure that, such as PGP.
