Someone could help a non-native to understand the meaning of the word (SANCTIONED) used by Andre? In the definition of Internet Abuse: *The non sanctioned use...* And in defining the terminology: *(5) Sanctioned - Infringement upon...* The sanction verb as: - give permission or approval for or - impose a sanction or penalty on In both sentences – SANCTIONED - as imposed sanction or permission and sanction?

Right? I don't know about that, but I just know that I get too many marketing emails.? ?...I scrolled down to the bottom of the email, and I pressed, "Unsubscribe." And I thought that'd be the end of it. But a week later, I got another one that said,...? ?And I thought, obviously, I haven't clicked hard enough. So I tried it again. Right? Lo and behold, a week passes, you guessed it,...? ?And I was really annoyed with them, and I thought, OK, I was about to write a strongly worded email, which I can do quite well.? http://www.ted.com/talks/james_veitch_the_agony_of_trying_to_unsubscribe So Andre, people who do this say they are not committing INTERNET ABUSE because they put a link to unsubscribe. This is too much hypocrisy or they really believe that we are mentally feeble? According to your concerns as you classify this attitude? I see billions of spam Red scam too I see them blomm For me and you And I think to myself What a wonderful word I see skies of shit And Clouds of bits The bright blessed day Become a dark pit And I think to myself What a wonderful word The colors of the messages So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of spammers going by I see friends wasting time Saying: "What can we do?" They are really saying "I hate all of you" Yes, I think to myself What a wonderful world Thanks Marilson
