Grassroots Effort Links Internet Companies, Consumer Rights Advocates, and Netizens in Effort to Stop Spam

As a website operator, my e-mail is flooded with unwanted spam messages. That is why I'm proud to announce my support of the Spam Recycling Center," said Celestial Cat, webmistress. "By providing a direct link to the Recycling Center, I'm helping my site visitors learn about the spam problem, get spam filtering services and give them the opportunity to turn their spams into something of value.

CELESTIAL CAT {CELESTIAL CAT'S HOME} announced today she had joined Internet users, companies, consumer advocates and e-mail users world-wide in an effort to restrict Unsolicited Commercial E-mail [UCE] or "spam" by providing a direct link to the Spam Recycling Center [SRC]. The SRC is a consumer assistance site devoted to helping netizens fight spam while promoting responsible, ethical Internet marketing practices.

As a website operator and netcitizen, my e-mail is flooded with unwanted spam messages every single day. I hate spam. My e-mail account is for my private use, I don't feel it should be flooded with unwanted, unasked for and useless messages. That is why I'm proud to announce my support of the Spam Recycling Center," said Celestial Cat, webmistress. "By providing a direct link to the Recycling Center, I'm helping my site visitors learn about the spam problem, get spam filtering services and give them the opportunity to turn their spams into something of value.

"We are pleased to welcome Celestial Cat to the scores of web sites that are helping us fight to end the practice of spamming," said Ian Oxman, president of ChooseYourMail.com and SRC co-founder. "Spam is damaging e-commerce and eroding consumer confidence in the web. Between the get-rich-quick schemes, the invitations to pornographic websites, and the potential dissemination of computer viruses, spam is turning 'buyer beware' into 'run for your life.'"

The SRC allows Internet users to join the fight against spam by forwarding their UCE to the SRC web site where it is cataloged and forwarded to the Federal Trade Commission as well as to spam filter makers to aid development of better anti-spam software and services.

While at the SRC web site, netizens can get free anti-spam software for both the individual user and systems administrators. SRC visitors may also read about pending anti-spam legislation and view the results of the first analysis of the spams collected at the site.
