How Annoyed Are People About Spam?
Here are some "fun facts" taken from the Yahoo! Anti-Spam Resource Center:
- 77 percent of Yahoo! Mail poll respondents said they are more aggravated by weeding through spam than they are by cleaning a dirty toilet.
- Spam is already considered more annoying than junk postal mail and door-to-door salespeople, and it is quickly becoming as annoying as telemarketing calls. Most annoying forms of spam are as follows:
- Telemarketing calls
- Spam e-mail
- Door-to-door salespeople

- Three-quarters of e-mail users think spammers should be punished, with the majority favoring stiff fines as the ideal punishment , while 8 percent think spammers should do jail time.
