many people who have used e-mail for a long time to exchange messages

could become tomorrow's 10,000 as the Internet grows....
'Junk e-mail is a growing irritation, but it is rapidly becoming a serious
problem as the volume continues to grow,' said Rivard, who in February
established the "Stop Junk E-mail" Web site (http://www.mcs.com/(tilde)jcr/junkemail.html).
'It seems to be growing exponentially. The sheer number of unwanted
e-mail messages will soon be overwhelming people's e-mail boxes, clogging
legitimate mail and wasting time and money.'"
