Of course, part of the cost of managing spam is built in to the cost of your Internet service but it's not really a direct cost. With junk mail it also raises the prices of what you buy as an indirect cost and, in NYC at least, you have to dispose of it by sorting through it all for recycling. I do more work and spend more time sorting my garbage than checking my spam filter. I'm not sure we're being introspective enough about why this issue raises such passion.

It's because I pay for the usage of the internet. In "junk" mail, the sender pays for it, not me. It's the same reason I hate junk faxes. They can send me whatever they want as long as it's non-offensive and free to me. But when it comes to me paying for them to advertise to me, I don't think so. I don't want to pay to waste my time.
