	No, I won't accept that... PBS and NPR can *choose* whether or not
they want advertisements on the air.  I can *choose* whether or not I want
to listen to those advertisements or the station itself.  Imagine someone
calling you up at home and leaving a voicemail message that goes something
like this:

hot sexy throbbing music in the background (you've seen the ads after
midnight on WUAB for example with the biker chicks and the bikini clad
broads)
"Hi!  I want to show you a good time... call this number for hot steamy
exciting sex!  I want to f**k you allllll night long!!  Call now!"

	Now.. that's all fine and dandy.. it's just an answering machine
right.. you can just delete that.. no problem.. now imagine 20 of those
places getting your number and calling you 5 times a day (hey, if they
don't respond to our commercial spam the first time, maybe they will one
of the next 5 times right?).  Now imagine your mom or girlfriend visiting
while you're playing back your messages.. makes you kinda look like a
freak doesn't it?  What kind of perverted freak would have those kind of
disgusting messages on their answering machine?  Now.. imagine your kids
checking your answering machine and having that appear on it... imagine
them being lured away and killed by a gang of rapists... oh wait..
different subject.. let's backtrack there.. 
	Spam is bad.  Spam uses bandwidth.  Spam sucks.  I'm on god knows
how many mailing lists plus I get mail from just about everywhere.. the
LAST thing I need is for my inbox to have MORE irrelevant mail than it
already does.. .I don't know about you but I like to keep my mailbox under
200 messages.. (which is kinda hard)  Opening the flood gates to these
idiotic freak spammers will only make my situation worse.  So
essentially... if people spam me and I have their address I will pay them
a visit.
