[Cialug] F'n Opt-in Spammers

[Dave J. Hala Jr.]

Its too much friggin' work to fool around with spam filters, TMDA etc
and so on.  I've got actaul work to do, I don't make any money when I'm
combating spam. I just pay Marshallnet a couple of bucks a month to
virus scan and spam filter my email and then I can focus on things that
generate revenue...

The spam filtering and scanning works great and I just don't have to
worry about it... 

:) Dave
