I'm glad I live in Germany, here you can place a sign on your post box saying "No advertisements please" and you are rid of it. Hell, I wished it was the same for my E-Mail. But what really enrages me isn't so much the fact that I get Advertisements via E-Mail but the fact, that's so senseless. I have the opinion that if you want money you've got to work for it, so the "Make money fast" stuff doesn't interest me. I'm satisfied with both my sex life in general and the length of my most precious part in special, so I also have no interest in "We've done it! We cracked a real porn dialer..." or "Meet young horny women" or "Three inches in only four weeks". And *_I DON'T SPEAK KOREAN!!!_*. This really enrages me. Some stupid dumpasses, send thousands of E-Mails to people who can't even read them. It costs me money, it costs my provider money, it slows down the net and what for? They'll probably have a hit ratio of about 1:100,000. And big parts of the European and US spam enters the net in Korea, too since there seems to be hundreds of with broken servers which act as open gateways, with abuse departments who answer "English speak not, understanding not". And a big part of this machines stand in schools. Isn't that braindead? I think I've got to stop before I become really angry, but one thing I promise to all spammers out there: If I ever get hold of one you bloody bastards, you'll find out what Pfählen is. -- One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
