My Blogsite and Infomail About Spam
Before I feel comfortable making jokes about Spam, generating Spam HUMOR to share, I would lai-ca tu reason about Spam. I have a lot of Spam humor. I think I should consider Spam from a non-comedic prespective.
This blogsite entry is about Spam.
Given: It is easy to get (obtain) a Free E-mail account.
Claim: "Spammers are looking for emails that are valid..." [Best Kept Computer Secrets pg. 303].
Meaning...? I guess this means that spammers don't want to send themselves Spam.
Under "10 Terrific Tips to Cut Down on Junk E-mail" / 1 Tip is: Don't reply to Spam.
I think that is logical. If replying seems encouraging and even negative replies seem tu encourage... At this point I became confused...
Q: Why would a reasonable person keep sending emails that the emailing computer user does not want?
WHY WAS I CONFUSE'DA?
The Editors of "Best Kept Computer Secrets" suggest that to 'say no' to Spam may generate more responses from a spammer. The Editor explains...
"Even if the e-mail isn't a scam, replying just tells a spammer he has found a valid e-mail to use
again."[Best Kept Computer Secrets pg. 303]
How does this make sense?
The Editor assumes the spammer will not send Spam to false and not valid email addresses, or the spammer's own e-mail address...
The Editor suggests that spammers intend tu reach a email user or a email address.
Why should the Spammer continue sending unwanted emails?
My given assumption: I assume Spam is unwanted emails sent from a spammer. If that is true, then shouldn't spam increase the more Spam is unwanted?
WHAT IS SPAM EMAIL?
If spammers send e-mail users Spam because they do not want unsolicited e-mails, then by ignoring the solicitation shouldn't email users receive more Spam? Meaning not wanting them tu continue may be the reason more Spam email is sent. If I am right, then how does not wanting Spam the right way tu stop spammers?
Q: ARE SPAM BLOCKERS REQUIRED?
Another given assumption: Many spam e-mails may also be scams...
This seems reasonable. If Spam emails are not scams, yet are unwanted e-mails, then a reasonable e-mail user would delete unwanted e-mails and valid solicitators [valid advertisers] would stop sending unwanted electronic mail.
Q: Would sending unask'da for information about Spam be considered Spam email, or INFOMAIL ABOUT Spam?
A: I think by not continuing to send infomail (about Spam), the 'info-mailer' can not be considered a spammer, yet one question remains: how did the 'info-mailer' obtain a e-mail address from a stranger?
