John,

If you use Yahoo you get what you deserve and shouldn't blame their
methods on
American culture. That's just ignorance.

 99.9% of all spam I get comes from outside the US.

 Well... at least you didn't use the word hate.

 We invented gravity as well.

 But I agree... marketing/advertising has become the armpit of the
business
 world, and rightfully so. As far as I can tell there is no low that
 -most- marketing/advertising companies will not stoop below.
 If it increases sales, it is somehow justified.... yecchhhhh!

A lot from aol.com over here...  I.e. US.  Not that I care where it 
comes from...  The fact that there's spam at all is what annoys me.

Are you actually lookup up the IP addresses of the host they come from, or 
just looking at the from and reply addresses which are always forged? Course 
a lot of those foreign spams are probably US companies using foreign sources.

Also, most spam that really is from AOL is an account that has been hacked, so 
it's hard to say where it originates from.

Uhm... the reply address I guess :-)

Oh well, who cares where it comes from?
