Spam Policy
Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt
to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. e-mail
spam targets individual users with direct mail messages and costs the sender very
little to send. Most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers
rather than by the sender. K-Tool doesn\\'t condone the use of spam and the sending
of unsolicited e-mail in any form, nor do we control other Web sites involvement
and/or practices in this area.
