Hi Kenneth,
A few little thoughts about this huge problem - as I see them.
1. The problem of May 2006 - 36 Billion spam messages sent worldwide in a single 24 hour period.
2. The problem of May 2007 - 70 Billion spam messages sent worldwide in a single 24 hour period.
I did my own math. According to these figures, spam has almost doubled in the past 12 months. What awaits us in May of 2008 or May 2009?
******************************
The problem of May 2006 was huge.
The problem of May 2007 was double huge.
The above are problems caused by the senders.
Now let's look at the REAL problem. A problem so gigantic I can't put a number on it.
******************************
The real problem is the receivers.
Yes, people just like you and I and everybody else.

My real problem is finding someone who is willing to invest 99 cents per month to protect themselves from unwanted email.
A real answer is available to a widely acknowledged problem. Protection is available. Are we willing to look at the possibilities? If not, then the problem of spam is much larger than anyone is willing to admit.
For anyone willing to look and think and take appropriate action here is my link to a report which I created over at the Powerblog some time ago.

Don't tell me that we can't do anything about it. I no longer believe that myth.
I say we can do "something" if we want to. My question is, Do We Want to?
