In Response To: Taking action against spam part 1 (Mike and Rikki)

A couple of points:

- Junk faxes are illegal, since they cost the sender essentially nothing, but the recipient pays for the material to print the fax. Email is essentially the same situation, since the recipient pays for it in the increased cost of internet access and ISPs pay for it due to the increased costs of the bandwidth necessary to accommodate it. There is NO reason that spam should be legal when junk faxes are banned.

- Junk mail has not been banned, since it's the sender that pays all costs for the mailing. The recipient either reads it or tosses it. One could argue that there are disposal costs involved, but it's not a very convincing argument.
