Paying for email?
None other than guess who....Bill Gates (other wise known as M$ or Microsoft owner) proposed that to fight spam we should charge for email.
What do you think? I can see why he says this however, because its HIM and Microsoft is notorious for money whores (hence M$) i think it looks bad. Source: http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/interne....ap/index.html |

What about an e-mail limit? 10 emails a day, maximum, then you have to pay money additionally.

I don't think there should be any limit.
If you get a load of spam emails either click the link at the bottom which usually says "to unsubscribe click here" Or just delete the mails without opening them. I very rarely get any spam through.

The only problem with clicking the links for removal is that - usually - it only makes things worse. Just delete, don't unsubscribe.

Actually, most unsubcribe links are links that lets the spammer know that the email account is active. So they'll piledrive you with more junk everynow and then.
