I’m curious if you’d agree with the FTC that email spam is levelling off or actually declining. I saw this story a few days ago right after I’d received about 5 emailed viruses (Norton Internet Security took care of them) and another 20+ pure unadulterated spam emails. It seems to me like the level has been increasing the last month.

I don’t use spam filters because they can’t really tell the difference between good and bad email. They also make it very difficult for people who are trying to send legitimate email messages (like our AgNewsWire.AgWired.com service). This is why I embrace RSS and hope we’ll see improvements in it over this coming year.

So, feel free to comment. Is the FTC keeping us safer from spam or are they just confused?
