Where should I go next fall? / Still Undecided, please help.

« on: June 22, 2006, 09:41:16 PM »

Hey everyone. I have been holding out for my waitlist decision from Colorado, but in the meantime, I paid my deposits at Kansas and Oregon. I have been out to visit Kansas and I liked it, and I am working on a way to visit Oregon (I live in Colorado so it is expensive.) I would appreciate any help with these questions:

1) Has anyone been to both schools, and could give me some advice?
2) If I do go visit Eugene, how do I get there? Should I fly into Eugene for about $400 or into Portland for about $300 and see the town there too?
3) Am I being a complete jackass by waiting this long to make up my mind?

Thanks!

Nope, I decided not to send a letter.

LOL, love it.

No, really though, how can you turn in emails as evidence? Do you email the court? Do you just bring paper copies?

No damages of course (other than time lost).

That is the beauty of the statute though, it doesn't reward damages, it just rewards $10 per unsolicited email.

Hey everyone,

I am just looking for some advice/thoughts on my situation.
First, let me say that I hate SPAM. I have thought of ways of trying to fight it. While I was working at the state capitol here, I came across a statute that provides for punishment for spam sent to a colorado server. Well, long story short, I was being spammed by a company that is also ironically located in Colorado (a provision if I am reading the statute correctly). Now, I would like to go ahead with my lawsuit, but have never dealth with something like this before. I know I would be the first in Colorado to attempt to collect on this, and it wouldn't be a huge sum of money. I would hope have the case recognized by the media so that others will follow in my path.

Here is the statute:

I have these things
1) The name of the company
2) The address of the company
3) My emails asking to be removed (2 or 3).
4) About 40 just emails after this point
5) I saved them in digital format as well.

How can I present something in digital format as evidence?
Would I just bring paper copies of the email?

Any help, or other places you think I may be able to find more information would be useful.

Thanks guys,

Brandon

I would love to make a decision, but I haven't had the chance to visit both schools. Also, I have been waitlisted at my top choice. So, I think it would be best just to pay, and hope for the best at my first choice, and take my time in visiting the other two.
