Ok, to make this clear: The original message (not by me) in this thread
quoted spam referring to bill S.1618, which promotes an "opt-out" solution.
That bill is *not* U.S. law:
<quote>
The Murkowski-Torricelli Amendments to S. 1618. Status:
Passed Senate, died in conference, (which means the bill *is
not law*, despite what spammer 'disclaimers' say).
</quote>
This was taken from the CAUCE (Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial
Email) web pages, specifically: http://www.cauce.org/legislation.html
That page also informs about other pending legislation in the U.S.A.
