Bane or a Boon
by Bob Osgoodby

Email to some is simply a way to contact friends and family and keep in touch.  To others, it is a very important method of communicating with business associates.

Unfortunately, those who send out unsolicited ads have created a problem for both.  It seems the amount of spam received daily increases geometrically, and try as we might, we just can't keep ahead of the game.

Let's talk about some of the more serious offenders.  We have all received email, and tried to respond, only to have the response returned as undeliverable.  These people forge an email address, and are basically dishonest.  Anyone who does business with them, deserves what they get.

High up on the list of "pains in the neck" are people who list an auto-responder as their return address, and program it to send out a series of emails on a regular basis.  If you reply to them and ask to be removed, you will get at least five or more emails from them over a short period of time.  These people are simply naive, as they continue bothering you, even though you asked them to cease and desist.

Another winner in this "hit parade" is the "fresh from the farm newbie" who harvests (or if they are really dumb buys a list) thousands of names and starts sending out unsolicited email. Thinking they have found the keys to the vault, they start sending out spam by the thousands.  They really take offense when their ISP (Internet Service Provider) cancels their account.

Many people try to disguise the subject of their email. They try to make it look like something else, just to get you to open it. Don’t these morons realize that if I’m not interested in their porno site, or what ever other offer they are making, trying to trick me isn’t going to change my mind. In point of fact, it is aggravating, and if there ever was a spark of interest in what they are hawking, that quickly disappeared.

And don't you just love the "brain trust" who sends out his/her thousands of emails and shows the email address of everyone they sent it to.  Spammers who may receive their ad have just added another thousand or so names to their list.

Let's look at the flip side of this coin.  First let's agree that we don't like spam.  Some people however, really "flip out" and make it their holy grail to get even.  In the early days of the Internet, one solution was to send back hundreds of copies of a long document hoping to fill their mailboxes.  That worked for a while, but modern email readers let someone preview an email and they quickly delete this "reverse spam".

Another group sends complaints to the ISP of the offender.  If the spammer used a forged address however, they quickly learn that this is a waste of time.  They receive back a very nice note from the ISP, telling them that the address they are complaining about doesn't exist on their server. They stop doing this very quickly, but still hate spam.

They then buy software that will parse a note and send a complaint to every URL or email address contained in the spam. Or worse yet, they complain to some self-appointed guardian of the web who does it for them.  This is OK if it is a legitimate piece of spam, but I have seen this done by someone who subscribed to a Newsletter, had a very senior moment, forgot they had subscribed, and did it to the publisher.

This means that the ISP of every single URL or email address contained in the newsletter gets sent a complaint.  This includes everyone who is identifiable in the Newsletter such as the authors of the articles, the advertisers in the Newsletter and anyone else who happens to have their web site listed there.  Hey folks this just isn't fair.

There are too many other ways to solve the problem of spam arriving in your mailbox.  First of all, much spam is generated if you use your email address on the web or in a chat room.  Your best bet is get free "throw away" addresses, and when the need for the address doesn't exist any longer, simply cancel it.

If you own your own domain, use an address that you tie in with your advertising.  When that starts to get overloaded, and it will, change it in your ads and filter messages to the old address to your trash bin.

Is it a bane or is it a boon.  If you let it control you, it falls into the first category.  But if you use it intelligently, it can be a most valuable asset to you and your business.

In The News

FTC Laptops Stolen

Two computers belonging to employees of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) were stolen from a locked car last week, putting personal information on about 110 individuals at risk.

An FTC official said the laptops, which belonged to two FTC attorneys, were password protected, but she noted that the computers contained names, Social Security numbers, addresses, and some financial information. The FTC has notified the individuals affected and offered them free credit monitoring for one year. The agency is working on a new policy that would forbid employees from taking computers with personal information out of FTC offices without explicit permission to do so.

This incident follows other recent cases of government loss of personal information, including one in which the Department of Veterans Affairs lost a hard drive with information on 26.5 million veterans

The 18 Maxims Of Financially Successful Winners
by Dr David Turner

NLP uses modeling of peoples beliefs, behaviors and strategies in order to achieve the same results as the role model. This has helped many people achieve the seemingly impossible.

A belief is simply a feeling of certainty of something being true. It has been ascertained by NLP practitioners that the extraordinarily wealthy, the financial independent adopt the following beliefs BEFORE they met their goals.

So, just suppose, you believe the following and wear these beliefs each day:

1. Believe that you and you alone are 100% responsible for your financial future.

2. Believe that in your lifetime, you will become rich and prosperous - independent financially.

3. Believe that if you set your mind to anything at all, you can accomplish it.

4. Believe that you are a magnet for money and investing opportunities.

5. Believe that as you educate yourself and learn more about finance and investing, so you will earn more money.

6. Believe that making money and investing is mere child's play once you're in the know about it.

7. Believe that once you've developed the saving habit, it becomes easy as pie.

8. Believe that to change your circumstance, you need to change yourself - for it to get better, you need to get better.

9. Believe that ever failure is a stepping stone to success.

10. Believe that it all doesn't have to be done by you. You can rely on a mastermind team of coaches, mentors and friends who are already successful.

11. Believe that happiness comes from within, but money does help.

12. Believe that the majority of people are honest.

13. Believe that money can give you confidence, excitement, more courage, satisfaction and adventure.

14. Believe that money will help you to make a far greater contribution in the world.

15. Believe that money is for the highest good of all.

16. Believe that the stock market is only a risky investment for those who do not know how it works.

17. Believe that with time, a winning attitude and the right strategy, becoming financially free even from nothing is in fact easy.

18. Believe in clearly formed, written objectives, with dead-line dates.

Just suppose you believe these 18 core beliefs of the financial superstars of the world today. Imagine what having such beliefs will do for your confidence, well-being, charisma and cash flow!

A Little Humor to Start the Week

Pulling Hair
=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Jack's mother ran into the bedroom when she heard him scream and found his two-year old sister pulling his hair. She gently released the little girl's grip and said comfortingly to Jack, "There, there. She didn't mean it. She doesn't know that hurts."

She was barely out of the room when the little girl screamed. Rushing back in, she asked, "What happened?"

"She knows now," Jack replied.

-----

"Give me a sentence about a public servant", said the teacher.

The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant."

The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked.

"Sure", said the young student confidently. "It means 'carrying a child'."

Becky prepared a pasta dish for a dinner party she was giving. In her haste, however, she forgot to refrigerate the spaghetti sauce, and it sat on the counter all day.

She was worried about spoilage, but it was too late to cook up another batch.
She called the local Poison Control Center and voiced her concern. They advised Becky to boil the sauce again.

That night, the phone rang during dinner, and a guest volunteered to answer it. Becky's face dropped as the guest called out, "It's the Poison Control Center. They want to know how the spaghetti sauce turned out."

-----

There was a man who entered a local paper's pun contest. He sent in ten different puns, in the hope that at least one of the puns would win.

Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.

Something to Think About
By Jan Tincher

How do you overcome the false belief that you have a problem that is all encompassing?

Answer: You take control of some part of that problem immediately. Even if it's the smallest part of the problem. The important thing is to take control NOW. Treat it like a hamster does a cracker. The cracker is big, but he keeps eating away. Pretty soon, the cracker is gone. The same with your problem.
