> Hi,

While you MAY have a 'sellable' idea, stop and think for a moment.

People already complain about spam. So you want to provide them with more? You expect them to pay for spam? Only those who support spammers already (and don't use their heads) would probably be your customers.

Spammers are already invading the internet email sufficiently to cause concern about bringing everything to do with it to a screeching halt. Do you really want to encourage more??? Why give the bad guys a free ride?

If you think this will lessen the amount of spam, think again. Spammers will pick up on this and half of the danged ebooks we 'purchase' will be full of spam. Legitimate publishers will be out of business because people will stop buying unless they know the publisher personally or by reputation. Even then it could be faked...

Why open up a can of worms? Try some real spam (the canned meat variety) if you're hungry (unless you're a fish...). I thought at first this was a post by a spammer fishing the market potential but I know better. Still, by posting here you have already provided ideas that could do us all harm.

People, stop and think about the consequences before you post or do something!

Sandi
