Email Postage Company Says People Want Email Postage Stamps
from the biased? dept
Is it really any surprise that an email postage company has done a survey saying that people want email postage stamps as a way of cutting back spam. In the past, every survey that has asked people about email postage has generally come out the opposite way. However, when you ask the question in a leading way, such as: "Is it a good idea to shift the cost of e-mail from the ISPs to those who send mass e-mail?" who's actually going to say no? Of course, people want to "shift the cost," but that's not the same as saying they want to deal with email postage stamps.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Spam is spam,
0 junk mail by setting who can send you email and having a challenge sent back that has to be answered to get thru to you if the sender is unknown is the only useful way to kill off junk email and still
have a back door that people can use to get thru to you if they are sending and not on your "good guy" list.
