Hell, I'd be willing to contribute to a fund which promised such results. I want my mailbox back and I'm tired of coming up with new regular expressions to make the spam go away.

Sites like these shouldn't be linked to by Slashdot.
God forbid that people on a site for nerds might just figure out how to turn that crap off.
