Why not? I am all for people doing whatever they like to make a living
until it adversely affects other people. Spam adversely affects other
people. Spam accounts for way to high a percentage of email traffic
anymore. I don't even want to guess what the percentage is up to now.
If that was cut out think of the savings in not having to process it,
not having to sift through it, etc.

Huh? It's not worth anything to me. So don't send it, paper or email.

Huh? He isn't the postal worker here. The postal worker in this
analogy is sendmail, postfix, or qmail. I don't blame the postal worker
for doing it's job. I blame the person at the source, as you said. He
works for the spammers. End of story.
