Junkbusters is dedicated
to just that--eliminating the junk from your daily life. This junk is in
the form of junkmail, telemarketing calls, email spam, bandwidth-wasting
banner ads... all that useless moneymaking crap by which marketers enmiserate
our lives in hopes of raking in a couple bucks. This site provides useful
information and methods of elimating this junk from your daily life. It
also goes on to discuss some of the darker aspects of this junk, such as
how much "junk data"--taking the form of demographic and behavioral data
gathered on you by marketers and amassed in large databases, gullibility
and "advertising susceptibility" ratings, and personal information--on
you is gathered and shared amongst direct-marketing organizations, the
ethical and privacy issues involved, and how to regain control of your
own personal data.

portal. It has everything spam-related: the latest UDPs (Usenet Death Penalties),

spam pages, visit here. A comprehensive and in-depth antispam resource,
covering everything from how spammers get your address, why spammers spam,
and (no passivism here!) lots of ways to fight back against the
moron putting all those sex ads in your inbox....even links to information

them ;), all spiced with an excellent sense of humour.
Holysmoke takes a critical
eye to frauds, flim-flam and various scams, such as faith-healer frauds,
"Spiritual" bilkers and Scientology. Don't take this link to mean I'm anti-religion;
just realise that there are many scams out there that exploit religious
tenets and beliefs.
