There's a great idea!  Anyone know where we can send it?

Lars showed me how to cancel to spam, but it really is a lot of work, and akin to 
putting on a helmet because someone is hitting you on the head with a hammer.  What 
really troubles me is that I feel so POWERLESS to do anything... I want to do 
something, even if it's just to DO SOMETHING.

I think Kevin's idea about forwarding spam to inconvenience our legislators might 
help... if you find some email addresses, let us know!

Michael
