You made a declaration. You did not ask a question. You didn't declare
spam was a problem. Where's the negative inference in your declaration?
Frank gave you some newbie notes to go read on how you should, at a
minimum, be composing your posts.

"I have mice in my garage." Yeah, so what? Does that mean you want to
get rid of them? Would that be humanely or inhumanely? If killing off,
do you want to know what poison to use that is humane or don't you care?
If you don't care about being humane, are you asking which traps are
best or whether to get some cats? Maybe you want to breed those mice
because they're the pure breed white mice use in labs that are
expensive, so your declaration isn't about getting rid of them but
rather how to keep them and make more. You didn't ask a question so we
don't want you want.

"I have a blue car." And? So?

Saying you get spam is NOT saying you want to get rid of it. There are
lots of folks that actually watch television commercials, especially
infomercials and QVC. You did NOT ask *how* that spam got delivered to
you. Maybe you don't care and you just want to get rid of it. Maybe
you currently implement some anti-spam software, it doesn't work as well
as you would like, so you're looking for suggestions on a better
anti-spam product. Guess, guess, guess.
