    3. As the List owner I encourage you to support this proposal and talk to others to do the same. I'm sick of the porn trash: <<WASHINGTON -- There's a potential new strategy in the fight against spam: send spammers to jail. Internet-service providers, or ISPs, and angry consumers are pushing for criminal penalties to be applied to those who fill up computer screens with unsolicited commercial e-mail. And at least in one state, they're getting their wish: A newly signed law in Virginia, which goes into effect July 1, provides for criminal prosecution of high-volume spammers. The likes of AOL Time Warner Inc. unit America Online and Verizon Communications' Verizon Online business appear eager to work with law-enforcement officials to use the new weapon. They contend spam is a form of theft and the prospect of jail time may prove scarier than civil penalties have.>> -eddie List Owner Some people try to be someone they are not. I do not even try to be who I am.
