Junk Mail
"Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the
result of an unsolicited email 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."
"The Boulder Pledge", devised by Roger Ebert at the
Conference on World Affairs at the University of Colorado

Common Spammer Whine: "But...I have freedom of speech..."
U.S. Supreme Court: ROWAN v. U.S. POST OFFICE DEPT. , 397 U.S. 728
"Nothing in the Constitution compels us to listen to or view any unwanted
communication, whatever its merit....The ancient concept that 'a man's home
is his castle' into which 'not even the king may enter' has lost none of
its vitality....We therefore categorically reject the argument that a vendor
has a right under the Constitution or otherwise to send unwanted material
into the home of another. If this prohibition operates to impede the flow
of even valid ideas, the answer is that no one has a right to press even
'good' ideas on an unwilling recipient. That we are often 'captives' outside
the sanctuary of the home and subject to objectionable speech and other sound
does not mean we must be captives everywhere....The asserted right of a
mailer, we repeat, stops at the outer boundary of every person's domain."
