74% of Web Users Want Spam Outlawed, Survey Reveals

Rising angst over junk e-mail has the majority of the Internet population in favor of outlawing it, a new study shows. Web users are more annoyed than ever by the continuous flood of unsolicited bulk e-mail sent to in-boxes every day; 80 percent of Internet users surveyed said they are "very annoyed" by spam, compared with only 49 percent who responded similarly two-and-a-half years ago, according to the latest Harris Poll.
