The trouble with Kevin, the Capital One customer

["Larry Seltzer" <larry () larryseltzer com>]

Now boo hoo hoo, my heart does bleed for poor Kevin, the Capital One customer who can’t keep those messy marketing 
e-mails out of his inbox, but established relationships with legitimate vendors are not the real spam problem. It’s the 
other 99%of spam, the pharmaceutical pitches, the stuff in Japanese, and the stuff like what I just got below: I 
guarantee you I’ve never had any relationship with these people and I doubt they will even respond to my unsubscribe 
e-mail.

This is why I think CAN-SPAM gets a bad rap. It’s not the provisions in the law that are the problem, it’s the fact 
that there’s not enough resources to enforce it, and that so many of the actors are beyond the reach of the law,
