I Don't Like Spam: A Personal History and Analysis I've been using e-mail since the early 80's, when I worked at Xerox. Back then, the only thing akin to today's spam was the occasional email sent to the entire company by overzealous employees who were Mary Kaye cosmetics distributors, parents of Girl Scouts, or the like. (Such transgressions occurred in spite of the fact that most Xerox employees had to read an email etiquette document before being given an email account.) Transgressors were quickly educated as to proper use of the company net. Even though the company could use authoritarian methods to punish transgressors, that seldom occurred. Instead, transgressors received their comeuppance the democratic way: by receiving hundreds of replies advising them not to abuse the net again.
