Spammers, go jump in a lake!

I hate spam.  I often report it to the hosting ISP.  It's usually a violation of their terms and services, and can cost you the loss of your account, or fines.

I'm not interested in giving you my time or money, for anything.  If I were interested in buying something that you spammed me with, I'll be looking for alternative sources, ones that haven't annoyed me.  And, I'll be telling people not to have anything to do with your product.

I'm not going to register to use your service.  And, do you really believe that people don't give false information to requests for registration information that's really none of your business?

I'm not going to visit your site and earn you money for the banner adverts that you've infested your website with.

When I do check out strange websites, I do it on my terms:  I don't allow scripting on sites that I don't trust, refuse cookies, disallow pop-ups, won't install plug-ins, and use the web browser of my choice.

You're wasting your time trying to advertise something to me.  I hate advertising; I ignore them on TV, turning off the sound and doing other things while they're on, and I don't even listen to commercial radio.
