It is a real shame that I am forced to go to these lengths, but
due to absolutely thoughtless people who do not respect email
privacy, I have had to put anti-spam protection on this FAQ.

What is spam? No, we're not talking tinned 'ham-like' products,
we're talking mass unsolicited commercial email. Unscrupulous
companies use bulk-extraction software to scan the Usenet and Web
for valid email addresses (ie. lines of text that fit the
user@somewhere.whatever format). They then compile all these
email addresses into massive mailing lists, which are then sold
off to whoever wants one.
The result is pretty much anyone who is willing to pay for a list
suddenly gains access to millions of email address, to which they
send their unsolicited commercial email, offering anything and
everything from Christian guidance to hardcore pornography. And
this is done entirely on the premise of exposure - no thought is
given to demographics, geographics or the fact that you never
asked for it in the first place. At the end of the day the bill
for this unwanted advertising is footed by ISPs and by you, the
end user, NOT by the spammers that send it. You don't believe me?
Check out http://spam.abuse.net for the complete rundown on why
spam should be outlawed, and while you're there join the
anti-spam campaign. Excuse the doom-preaching, but left
unchecked, spam could make using email and the Usenet impossible.
