Something needs an adjustment--if the spammer can avoid complaints
by increasing the size of the paylod, then something is very wrong.


But we knew that when we came in, didn't we?

To be fair to the Advertising Standards Authority, their primary
remit is to deal with conventional media advertising rather than
email advertising, which probably makes up a very small percentage
of the complaints that they handle.

The correct place for UK residents to complain to in respect of
Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003
contraventions is the Information Commissioner's Office. However,
in that instance, there does not appear to be an electronic complaint
submission mechanism at all.
