Spam all the way. At least the other stuff can be used for starting a camp fire.

I voted for spam even though I usually don't get much. I kinda like snail mail advertising makes me feel important to get something besides bills.

I dislike both, but I had to go with spam. At least snail mail never sends me stuff about watching some XXX-rated crap.

Just think of it:

Junk Mail wastes:

$$$
Time
Energy
Waste of paper, ink, resources


Spam wastes:

Your delete key

Spam also wastes bandwith too of which people in other countries pay for each piece of email they recieve so to speak. I know because I once got yelled at on a email list when i replyed to the group instead of the writer and sent a file to the whole group

Not everyone has unlimited internet and those that don't tend to pay for each spam they recieve byte by byte.

But sometimes when you are expecting something from an unusual place, it is hard to tell it apart from spam so it gets rather tedious reading all those subject lines.

Yeah I hate it when telemarketers call your cell phone and leave a long voice mail you end up paying for wasted minutes.

The no call lists don't seem to be effective enough, either.

True but for some reason I would rather see the companies pay by having to send it through snail mail rather then sending an email at no cost.
