[b48fd6]I demand I be added as a form of spam.[/b48fd6]
As for what annoys me most, it's the third one..annoys me so much that I featured it on my unmaintained craphole of a website. (Not actual spam, just a quote of it)

It has to be webcam, just because its always coming through on AOL IM. They have this limit thing thats supposed to stop you from sending too many message requests, but it doesn't work. And it's booted me off line 3 times for recieving a message and I rarely start a conversation so its screwed anyway. AOL take spam as seriously as other tinned meats. I report it all the time and they don't do anything. Especially bad is the 'Our servers crashed and we lost your account info' or 'You have a special cyber kiss message' or the like where you are prompted to a page to where you enter your password or are told they need your credit card info again. I can't believe people fall for these scams, but they must or why would they bother. After a lot of inaction I sent a very savaging email directly to AOL demanding a reply and they said, 'oh its not hosted on our site' so we can't do anything'. ermm... copyright infringement? The AOL account used to send the emails? I hunt the bastards down myself and report them to the hosting companies. Spam would be reduced if everyone did there bit and stopped saying its not thier responsabilty. And what about the EU? They like making up laws and regulations (banning cookies? WTF!!) No stop cybertossers please. Filters are no good, it would be like giving everyone dustmasks instead of stopping world-wide nuclear anahilation. I like this idea I've seen springing up on newsgroups on planting email addresses to attract spam to where they can be logged, its down to the few again whereas it should be the industry.
