I did a presentation on this some 5 or so years ago. People had no idea what I was talking about. Here it is 5 years later…and people still don’t know what I’m talking about. What is the CAN-SPAM Act? Here’s a little history: The CAN-SPAM Act, The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and
I just moved to Washington State, can I get a divorce?
