Hi folks, you know, it's hard to believe that Fall is almost here! In June we were still waiting for warm weather and on 23 Aug, the temp in the morning was only 11 degrees celcius! Let's enjoy it while it's still here.
This month's article talks about something which affects us all - SPAM. Unsolicited commercial email has almost ruined one of our most effective methods of doing business, email. Even legitimate emails like newsletters and signup confirmations, and even payment confirmations are being blocked by some Internet Service Providers without you even knowing about it. Be sure to read the article.

**FEATURE ARTICLE**
Cease And Desist
By Bob Osgoodby
While we all admit that unsolicited commercial email is a real pain, I sometimes wonder if the anti-spam zealots are going too far. Last week I was in Costa Rica, and the only practical way to communicate home was by email. I maintain an AOL account just for that purpose when traveling, and was amazed to find out when I got home, that I only received about half of the email which was sent - some of which was important.
Many ISP's (Internet Service Providers) including AOL, have installed content filters which automatically relegate anything "they think" is spam to trash, and the message never gets delivered to the intended recipient, nor is the person sending it notified it wasn’t delivered.
The problem is that there is no personal judgment at the level of the ISP to determine if a note is spam or not. They have installed content filters that "dump" any email that happens to match the keywords they have installed. How dare they determine what I should receive or not receive. Because a word in the note (or the length of the note) met their reject parameters, they will not deliver it? This is wrong!
Shame on them! I don't know about you, but I don't want my ISP acting like "big brother" on my behalf, and determining what I should read and what I shouldn't.
I do agree that spam is not only a nuisance, but is a daily problem that takes my time to sort through and get rid of the "junk" I didn't ask for, and don't want to get. But let me make that determination. I can set up filters that automatically deletes email I don't wish to get myself. I don't need, nor do I want someone else making that decision on my behalf.
It has been reported to me that some ISPs are blocking newsletters that people have asked to receive. Some investigation turned up that certain words were on their "banned" list and they appeared in the newsletter. Several of our publications include a medical column by Dr. Earl Mindell. Will there be words in that column that match the filters these "self appointed guardians of email" have installed - Sure. Will the newsletters exceed some magical length they have determined to be spam - Right again. Is this spam - No! How about an email constructed in an HTML format? Some ISPs automatically delete anything without text in the body of the email - wrong.
Sending out spam is big business. The federal law enacted in the USA is ineffective as the major "spam houses" simply comply with those guidelines. Some suggest that the domains of the spam houses be blocked. Get real! Domains are a dime a dozen. If one gets blocked they simply use another.
But if someone makes a complaint about you, they may block your ISP. I know of an instance where an ISP blocked Comcast.net and nobody using that ISP could receive email sent by Comcast users.
The early days of the Internet, which was the sole property of the academicians where spam was anathema, are over. The Internet is ideally suited to support e-commerce, which it does very well. Online advertising is now a way of life.
Now - don't feel I am supporting spam but for goodness sake, I don't want someone else monitoring my email and determining what I should read or not.
How many legitimate emails do we have to "not get" because others are making that decision for us. How many requests for information should get "blown away" because the reply violated some ISP's filters. My feeling is that they should cease and desist, and not be the self-appointed guardians of my inbox.

**LAUGH A LITTLE**
1. A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and stops to entertain at a bar in a small town. He's going through his usual run of dumb blonde jokes, when a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and says, "I've heard just about enough of your denigrating blond jokes!
What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does a person's physical attributes have to do with their worth as a human being? It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in my community, of reaching my full potential as a person because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes but women at large all in the name of humor."
Flustered, the ventriloquist begins to apologize, when the blond says, "You stay out of this, Mister! I'm talking to that little jerk on your knee!"
*******************
2. The mother of three notoriously unruly youngsters was asked whether or not she'd have children if she had it to do over again.
"Sure," she replied, "but not the same ones."
------------------------------------------------------
**USEFUL TIP OF THE MONTH**
1. Always On
If you subscribe to a cable service, or have DSL, you are connected to the Internet 24/7. While this is extremely handy (not to mention quick) it can also pose a danger. Potential hackers have all the time in the world to find your system and try to break in – as opposed to a dial up which is only on when you are actually connected.
Sure you can turn off your modem when not in use, but this can be a “pain” and you will forget. There are two safe ways around this. You can get a software solution (firewall) from a company such as Symantec.com or a hardware solution.
I prefer the hardware solution as sometimes the software solution can interfere with other software you already have on your computer. I use a “LinkSys” router which actually has its own IP address. This means that the only address a potential hacker could see would be the IP address of the router, and your computer is virtually invisible.
An added bonus is that if you have multiple computers they can be hooked to the router and everyone can be online at the same time.

**************
2. Article City http://www.articlecity.com/index - I don't know why people would want to risk stealing content when there is tons of free content you can legally use on your web site and in your ezines. It just doesn't make sense.
Article City is just one of many web sites offering articles you can reprint. Topic categories range from A to W, and that's almost as good as A to Z. More specifically, the categories are:
Auto and Trucks, Business and Finance, Computers and Internet, Family, Food and Drink, Health, Home Improvement, Kids and Teens, Legal, Marketing, Online Business, Parenting, Recreation and Sports, Self-Improvement, Site Promotion, Travel and Leisure, Web Development, Women, and Writing.
If you need content, this site is a good place to start.
Bonus Tip: Submitting articles you've written to sites like this is a good way to get your name in front of eyeballs and gain new traffic to your web site.
