A new poll shows that email users are firmly opposed to paying for email as a means of ending the perennial spam problem.
The poll taken over the past 24 hours by iTWire asked the question: "Should we pay for emails in order to end spam?"
Of 143 respondents to the poll, just 20 (14%) voted yes and 123 (86%)
voted no. Paying small amounts for guaranteed email delivery has been
proposed for quite some time as a way of beating the spam problem.
However, it appears that email users would prefer to keep pennies in
their pockets and take spam with their mail.
