About this Site

    Welcome to The Crystal Cave. We started this site to assist in stopping "Spam" on the Web. We will try to provide you with all the resources and information you will need to combat Spam.

   Use of the term "spam" was adopted as a result of the Monty Python skit in which a group of Vikings sang a chorus of "SPAM, SPAM, SPAM . . . " in an increasing crescendo, drowning out other conversation. Hence, the analogy applied because UCE was drowning out normal discourse on the Internet.

    Spam also known as UCE (Unsolicited Commercial E-mail) or UBE (Unsolicited Bulk E-mail) is something we have all been victimized by and it is growing day by day.

    The Federal Government is working on Spam Laws but this is a slow ongoing process, although the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Bureau of Consumer Protection UCE Section seems to be taking a very active part in tracking down and punishing the perpetrators.

     It's your e-mail address, you paid for it, and you should have control over what it is used for. If you do not want to keep receiving the tons of Spam that is sent over the Internet then you have to start fighting back! We will show you how to do it and supply you with the tools, the rest is up to you!
