Part of Spam Arrest’s hilarious “Sender Agreement” that one is forced to agree to before having one’s email sent to the recipient. “I acknowledge that the $2000.00 remedy is a reasonable estimate of Spam Arrest’s and the Recipient’s actual damages.”? Uh, no, no I don’t. Sorry, intended recipient, no email for you. (Hat tip to matasar) (via attaboy)
