How do spammers STEAL anything from anyone? We're all adults here, and we
should be taking personal responsibility for our choices, not blaming an
errant purchase on a spammer. Or did you mean something else entirely?

Live my life and tell me if you think the post is an invalid comparison. I
think not, but hey, it's me on this side of the poverty line and you on the
other, so what do you care, right?

It matters little, because I refuse to be a part of a list where people are
allowed to hatefully flame others simply for an opinion that goes against
their own. THAT is what is truly disgusting, Jim, not my post.

Thanks for the experience, and for the priceless information that has
inspired me to write an e-book on preventing spam. Don't worry -- none of
your names will be mentioned, nor will your personal experiences.

I haven't found anything here that I can't find elsewhere -- even the
horrible flames -- so I'm gone. Even my husband and business partner
encouraged me to leave this list after reading the nasty remarks. (I won't
tell you what he said I should tell you for him... I happen to be more
diplomatic than that.) I wish you all luck... and for those of you who
think my post is "disgusting" and that my opinion is "horrid," I think your
turn is coming. Karma, baby... it's all about Karma. If this is what you
do unto others, expect it right back in your face.
