		<description>AMEN!!! 

Personally, I'm sick of it! 

All these thoughtless,inconsiderate, snake oil sellers interrupting our social life and treating our in boxes like the public dump!
 
I mean it's to the point I don't even log into myspace and imeem anymore because my in box is literally filled with like 50 messages that's all garbage on the daily. 

I'm starting to feel like I work for the Global Internet Department of Waste when I log into my account.

Everybody and they grandma is trying to sell me something out of the blue, without even trying to conversate or socialize then asking for permission...feel me?

It's all about buy my music, download "free" ring tones, or "win" a "free" laptop...it's getting very annoying and frustrating...ARGH!!!! and that's coming from someone considered to have more than an abundance of patience.

Do they not realize we'd be more likely to buy from a "friend" or someone we "know"? SHEESH!!!

Maybe we should start replying to spam with links to download Seth Godin's "Permission Marketing"
Now there's an "Idea Virus" we can spread...feel me? 

See how that works...see how smoothly I slipped that in there...Mr.Spam Man? *sarcastically rolls eyes in head *

Damn The Spam I'm A Fruitarian!!! 

Reason why I love Michelle MacPhearson, she feeds me fruits from the Tree of Life.

		<description>Exactly! I've been finding that even people who are supposed to "know better" are still ignoring the fact that there are real people on the other side of that computer screen.

Another way to look at it is this: if you were invited to a party, would you barge in and loudly announce your business to the room, go eat all the chips and dip, fart loudly, then expect to get a friendship or business relationship from that?

That would just succeed in embarrassing the person who invited you and make sure you did not get invited back.</description>
