This imposition on our privacy is not only grossly annoying but scarry! When an unknown person sends me an e-mail which includes my name, the name of my bank, and end- less offers of sexually provocative messages and products.... I get scarred! In addition, these same disgusting senders have a method of re-contacting me even though I have "blocked sender", used their offer to reply to "if I do not want to receive these messages....". doesn't work... If a stranger opened the door to my home walked in and forced me to take info. about his products, sexual offers of products, offers of date arrangement.... what would his punishment be? He is really STEALING my computer, stealing my time..stealing my right to choose...stealing my PRIVACY! PLEASE! find a solution! How does the recipient obtain the address of the sender? If there would be a way to send the names & addresses of these invaders to a watch dog to identify the offenders and punish accordingly might that be one way to offer some control? I have attempted every possible way to rid these guys and it doesn't work. As you are attempting to help solve the problem I plead you do so as soon as possible. Punishment...shut down their right to use the net, send them to jail, just get rid of these pests. If we have put a band on soliciting over the phone then there should be a similar band on computer soliciting . I feel very strongly about being able to identify these offenders and take what ever means necessary to stop their hideous waste of time. Thanks for "listening" to my thoughts. And, know that I am not alone in hoping for an immediate legal solution to this problem.........and still keep us a free country......
