From the Paper:

"re you sick and tired of junk e-mail filling your inbox and wasting your time? Do you want to do something about it? The boundless, dreadful Spam monster must be stopped, and you can help. This is how a typical day starts for me. While sipping the morning coffee in front of my PC at home or work, I get an uneasy feeling that I am only a mouse click away to viewing something I do not want to see. My password is entered and there they are, four advertising e-mails trying to sell a product, service, or a promise to make me rich. The junk e-mail is called UCE (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail); a.k.a. "Spam", but has nothing to do with the luncheon meat product we all love or hate."
