I'm not expecting the FTC to talk about successes, because I don't think it really can trumpet any.

It takes laws years to become effective. It takes days or weeks for the newest Internet e-mail threat to wreak havoc.

It's a good law for people who want to follow it, but the real fundamental problem is the practice itself and the fact that people aren't easily tracked down.

As long as there is e-mail, there will be spam.

Anything that raises people's awareness and improves people's education on the extent of the problem ... is going to improve things.

For us, we have not seen one single instance where spam has actually gone down.
