I am interested in it from two angles, as I have already expressed. (1) The time I have to waste because of the spam to a value of at least $10,000 per year, and (2) the counter-productive nature of it, from a business POV.
Incidentally, I believe the CAN/SPAM rules (or laws, if they are actually law) rule about unsolicited commercial e-mail. The problem is that CAN/SPAM actually legalizes spam by defining what is acceptable spam and what is unacceptable spam. Which is why we have so much of it now.
I remember when the introduction of CAN/SPAM was being debated. It was generally accepted by everyone I was in discussion with over it, that spam would increase as a result, and that is what has happened.
Sad, really. A perfectly wonderful business tool has been so abused as to be a mere shadow of the benefit it could have brought to business communication.
