Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

I would think (not knowing the legislation in question, but on 'sensible'
expectations) that they've missed off "with which we will comply".

Or is that childish optimism?

Cheers
Martin

Subject:  [thelist] Is this spam or not?



I received some Spam today which I consider Spam, but which bore the
following footnote:

"Under Bill s.1618 Title III passed by 105th U. S. Congress this mail can
not be considered Spam as long as we include contact information
and a remove link for removal from our mailing list. To be removed from our
mailing list reply with remove in the subject heading. "

According to this Spam, I have now broken U.S. law by considering the
aforementioned Spam to be Spam.  Or have I?  Is there such a law?  Not that
I give 2 hoots about breaking U.S. laws, but I'm rather curious.
