I agree ...but for those of you who live in the United States, The Federal 
Trade Commission is holding a 3 day workshop on combating spam.

http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/02/spamforum.htm

For those of you more politically inclined as well as technically 
knowledgeable about the subject I would encourage you to participate.

I have personally had some dealings with the FTC on privacy related issues 
as it relates to ENUM and in general I have found the Commission staff to 
be most grateful for knowledgeable, professional, technical opinions from 
folks like us.
