I agree with Harold above when I say that emails doesn't force you to get a garbage bag like what happens with junk mail. However, spam emails also present their own unique dangers and irritations to some people. For one thing, I recall some time in the past when I was forced to spend half an hour cleaning up my inbox. I also recall another incident where a spam email gave my computer a virus - That was a disaster. To sum it up, junk mail gives you more trash while spam email has the potential to give your computer problems. On the bright side though, opt in email marketing is certainly solving the problem of dangerous and unknown emails from entering one's site.

They're trying to throw email spammers in jail, and yet it's not against the law for corporations to send unsollicted JUNK mail to my HOUSE! Nor is it illegal for fortune 500 companies to spam my telephone on a daily basis! The anti-spam laws were brought apon by the "big companies" who want to stop the little guy from getting their businesses in their face. Brent No kidding….what a joke.

Think for a moment if you'd be more likely to open something in handwritten ink? Most of the junk mail received isn't hand addressed and when we do marketing we usually hand address envelopes.

I do receive considerable more email spam than snail mail spam, but the email spam doesn't cause me to have to trek out to the dumpster every day. Is snail mail spam really effective for you TD? Am I the only one that totally ignores it and passes it directly to the trash? It really bothers me when I have to sort through it to find an actual letter or even a real bill... my box is always full of offers which I have never asked for... Maybe if I had a fire place I would look at snail spam in a more igniting light, but to me it is usually and extra trip of 120 meters to the dumpster and back.

Considering postis delivered 6 times a week, thats a lot of spam! Add that to the volume of printed brochures every major shop send out every other day and my mail box is never empty. Most days it's hard to find my bills in there, although I'm not sure that's a bad thing ;) Well, I’m not sure what it’s like where you are, but here in Denmark I received snail mail spam EVERY time I get post.
