great printer...terrible windows xp drivers. Works great from a mac. come on bill. it doesn't have to be this painful. wysiwyg please!

spam volume is up...but... so is naivitae.

I have seen the volume of spam increase easily 100% since Sept/Oct 2004 and yet it seems that despite the fact that everyone "hates" spam, these spammers still find purchase in the soil of naive emailers.

To me this is going to become like voting; where everyone complains about the state of the election but still only 40-50% of the voting public actually casts a ballot. If you choose to NOT vote then in my opinion you have less of a right to complain about the state of your government. Democracy works only when the people participate. Perhaps the beauty of a democracy is that it has a filter for the people that choose to only follow. Those are the non-voters. The voters are the ones that want to feel like they can control the way they are governed or at least through the process of a representational government begin to affect a change.

Spammers gain momentum and fuel (email addresses) from the value that they have in their lists and/or in the value of 1 out of million people that click on the link to V i @ GR A in the email. Who are these people that click on the links in spam? They may very well be the same people that complain yet don't vote. By NOT clicking on the link in a spam email you are voting to not have your email address used by spammers.

Please understand that while I say this with my proverbial tongue pressed into my proverbial cheek, I do believe that there is some truth in this message.
