Alyce Lomax from the Motley Fool (free registration required for this article) has some great commentary on the Pew report we covered earlier. She reminds us that, just because we're getting a little more comfortable with spam, we shouldn't ignore some of the scarier parts of the report - such as, "more than half of people say that spam has undermined their trust of email, and 67% of people say spam makes their online experience 'unpleasant or annoying.'"
ISPs and spam filter makers and email providers shouldn't get "comfy," Lomax says. After all, " Spam continues to be a big, bulky pain, and when it comes to scams like phishing, it's downright dangerous."
And after all, 67% disgruntled customers is better than last year - but it's still an overwhelming majority!
