S 875 is the most palatable because what it mandates could easily be done by the spammers themselves. I support free market enterprise, probably more than the American Freedom Fighters ever could, but I also support responsibility in free speech. It is the concept of responsibility that the spammers ignore.

Many internet users pay by the hour for their access.
Some pay by the mail message. Some pay by the amount of information sent.
