Web Browsers and Web Servers – How Do They Work
Author: Sadain  | Posted: 31-08-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 24 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
Once upon a
time, e-mail messages flowed freely through cyberspace and the congenial smell
of e-mails was everywhere. I remember racing to my inbox each day with a wild
anticipation that I was about to be informed of new and enlightening events,
along with notes from friends. Maybe, the collection would also include an order
or two to quell my monetary wishes, as well as, containing some of my favorite
newsletters. Ah! Those were the salad days...when my inbox was a welcome sight
each morning. Oh, of course there was that occasional sales pitch, but that was
just to keep me alert.
But alas, those
were days of yore.
Today we are
drowning in a deepening cascade of rubbish, as a result of unsolicited e-mails
irritatingly referred to as "Spam." "Spam" is a term contrived in a parody a few
years back by an English group of comedians (Monty Python's Flying Circus),
describing a food product (Spam) exploited in a humorous manner.
While this form
of e-mail sludge (Spam) is far from a laughing matter, the irrational reaction
to it by some is itself fraught with calamity. If we were simply confronted with
this daily deluge of these unwanted emails, that would be annoying enough.
However, what is now occurring is far worse! In fact, it’s really scary.
Part of this
chaos springs from the fact that there in no clear cut definition to everyone of
just what comprises this thing we term SPAM! Further, nothing explains, nor
excuses the destructively paranoid reactions of some to this proliferation of
spam plaguing us now.
On one hand
there are the saintly IP's, installing what is loosely described as "Anti-Spam"
software, which I must admit does accomplish two things. Those being the purging
of many needed emails, while taking no notice of, most of the porn and sludge.
Yet the real damage comes from the growing number of self-appointed ‘crusaders’
('e-mail Nazi') that inhabit the Internet. They take it upon themselves to
police the net vowing to squash any unsuspecting spammer.
These "Not in my
inbox" nerds, suffering from delusions of importance, mistakenly harass the IP's
of honest marketers and purveyors of newsletters. In fact, many a website has
been shut down as the result of a false accusation of spamming. Often, the
accusation is all it takes today, due to the hysteria prevalent on the Web,
along with the growing fixations of many hosting companies. These spiteful
actions have indeed caused devastating financial harm and damage to the
reputations of many well known and blameless Internet pioneers.
A few states
have enacted legislation against spam, but they still can't define it. The U.S.
congress has also mentioned some sort of a bill, but is bogged down with, things
more important. Such as, which luxuries to pass new taxes on – like food, cars,
etc?
Once congress
settles on a definition of this phenomenon and passes a new law, you can count
on the spammers to really come out of the woodwork along with their lawyers.
They could sue
for obesity to inboxes!
As for me, I
long for the days when I can once again utter, "Don't you just love the smell of
email in the air!"
