The trouble is there are people in this world who are STUPID/SAD/IGNORANT enough to actually fall for this crap... along with the "grow your penis an extra 6 inches in 6 months" spams, the "i have recently been given $250,000,000 and I want you to have it, all i need are your bank account details" spams, the "become a millionaire in one month by following this simple guide" spams, and so on.

If people weren't stupid enough to fall for this stuff then there wouldn't be any point for people to send spam emails... and the world would be a better place.

That's because some cheeky sods send your email address off to a big spamming company just so that they can get an extra $0.01... it's normally when you submit your email address with registration forms that they get you by the short 'n curlies.

It really should be made illegal... it's just a blatent invasion of privacy... maybe even bordering on harasment.

You might want to remove that if you don't want anyone seeing it, LiLpunkSkateR. Web spiders can pickup addresses right off webpages. There is even some that spider every single post within a phpBB forum and grab all mailto links. Just a lil' heads up. ;)

I personally don't care because even if I don't fill out a form for months and months, I will still get sh!t within my inbox.

yeh... I dropped that habit (of filling out webforms) long back, yet I have to bare that heck off the Spam stuff... Spam, eh... it's one of those things we wish we could disinvent... or say just, it's the worst abuse of communication technologies, be it email, telemarketing or even paper inserts in newspapers.
