So 2+2+2 would be out of the question for you? lol

I hate spam and I dont use email very often so I dont really care. But if they start charging a pennie for and email that would suck. earthlink trained me in customer service so I do both cs and tech support there would be soo many pissed customers my job would be hell. as for the math problem haha the spamers and stupid couldent send email.

(2+4x3-2x2-1)²=81

thats quite a good idea, i wouldn't mind solving a math problem or something like that to email somebody, but that might be because i email someone like maybe once a month


i wouldn't pay anything to send an email though...too much hassle.

Let's see how much I e-mail.... in 16 months I've sent about 900 e-mails. So that's 55 mails a month, 1.8 a day.

Problem with this idea is: how are you gonna impetent the whole system in an open network?? Hackers will always find a way around it...
