We all hate spam; it sucks on a massive scale.  Ultimately, though, it's
only real cost is time.

Junk mail, on the other hand, takes a material toll.  Just think of the
millions or hundreds of millions of AOL cds in our landfills.  There outta
be a law.  Maybe there is one.  Anyone know of it?  Nah, I doubt it.  Spam
isn't illegal; why should junk mail be.  Yet, oddly enough, unsolicited
faxes and unwanted (previously declared as such) telemarketing calls are
illegal.  "Oddly enough" because, well, shouldn't it *all* be either legal
or illegal?  I mean, exceeding the speed limit isn't illegal on *some*
roads....

eh.  just thinking out loud.  I'm sure I'm overlooking some salient point.
and I'm sure someone will point it out to me shortly...
