The spammers have already thought of this. Most of
the ads require the customer to call a phone number
to purchase their goods. They do not make the
mistake of having an 800 line either. {8-[

One's ethical values are formed in childhood
then change very little over a lifetime. Right?
We need to instill in our very young that it is
unethical, yea immoral to purchase *anything* from
any source which reached its audience thru spam,
email or phone variety.

I do mean immoral to buy *anything* that way, I
dont care if they are having a two for the price
of one sale on twenty dollar bills; anything to
help spammers make money causes many to suffer
annoyance. Teach your children. spike
