A service to humanity

While Pfizer and Microsoft are acting in their own self interests, they are also doing a service for humanity by going after the originators of this annoying spam.

I agree full heartedly... I am tired of having some unknown "person" mailing me with a HI AGAIN message when I've never met the sender in my life.

This is out and out fraud. Such misrepresentation should be illegal six ways from Sunday and AGRESSIVLY enforced. Only when we stop hitting the delete button and start hitting the prosecutors speeddial button will the polititions start listening to us with open ears.

I've no intention to take anything stronger that the generic Tylanol I buy from the Aldi's down the street. but from the email I get you'd think that I was the only one to support a dozen Pharmacies.

Also I'm disabled and only leave the apartment for church and to buy what I need... but from the subject lines like "I liked meeting you the other night..." I'd remember if I had met a Vanessa, or Barbie or TOWN **** whatever. Respectable girls dont talk like that let alone lie about meeting you somewhere.

Put the cyber ****** in jail too.
