I would say the FTC has some hardworking, clueful people, who have been
handed a whiffle ball bat and ordered to duel Darth Vader.  Many of the
people on this list have a larger anti-spam budget than the entire FTC.
 If they are to attempt to come close to enforcing CAN-SPAM the first
thing I would suggest is a much larger budget.  Its not a PEOPLE problem
or an ATTITUDE problem, its a resource problem.

At least Rich is consistent . . .
