Schumer Wants an International Treaty On Spam?

The Washingtion Post mentions in passing in a story about a spammer that Senator Charles Schumer of New York wants an international treaty for the non-proliferation of spam.

Protected by International Treaty? What's next, an Axis of Spammers? Trade wars or military intervention to depose those who would forge headers?

For the love of pete, it's just junk mail you can delete from your inbox and filter, fairly effectively, from your server. It's annoying, but the pushes to make it illegal and criminal are a little much for my taste, but I rankle against legislation and regulation more than I rankle at being annoyed.

 
To say Noggle, one first must be able to say the "Nah."
