Too bad. I don't want to receive spam and the only people that I am
interested in coresponding with are in my whitelist. I don't have time
to look through 500+ spams per day (Yes, TMDA does keep count).
People have the right to keep crap out of their e-mail box and have
freedom to associate (or not) with whom them please.
95%+ e-mails that TMDA catches are spam - no, I am confident
in saying over 99% most of the time.
