Longtime readers know of my disdain for the US Congress’ decision that turned a blind eye on spam’s impact on business when they formalized an “opt out” policy instead of “opt-in.” Personally, even with spam filters, I still end up wasting an hour or two each week deleting spam from my several email accounts.
