The Pamphleteer |
|
|
During colonial times in America, if you wanted to convince or inform people about some issue that you considered important, you went to the local printer and got some pamphlets printed. You then handed them out, read them to anybody that was interested, nailed them to the town bulletin board, or the nearest tree.
The first amendment was specifically written to protect this type of activity and the writers or "pamphleteers".

Malicious Spam Links (From Pamela, our correspondent in Bay Ridge.) A threat alert was recived today stating that unscrupulous individuals are sending out email that looks like spam. These emails direct you to click on the link contained in the email such as 'click here to remove your name' or, 'click here to unsubscribe' which will lead you to believe that you are unsubscribing to the spam emailer. However, when you click on the link, you will be brought to a web page and if you do anything such as scroll down on the web site or click anywhere within the screen of the web site, a keystroke logger will be installed on your computer. What this does is to confirm to the spammer that your e-mail address is valid, which will only generate more spam. More importantly, they can compromise your computer by installing malicious programs. Even if you have an e-mail filter that blocks spam messages, however, some get through. Please be alert to these deceptions. |
