Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary f or publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game. “People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept responsibility for the relationship,” said social worker Ken Yip, “and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document, the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many anizations will not process written plaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply. There are people who wish to remain anonymous（匿名的） for various reasons. Multibillionaire Mr. King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime. Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation.

If we want to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(發(fā)送垃圾郵件 ) a crime. If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the p roblem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions o f s almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual boxes are often flooded with spam s. Would people continue to use if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time? This problem is troubling for individuals and panies as well. Many spam s contain puter viruses that can shut down the entire work of a pany. Companies rely on for their employees to municate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local munications works, and their employees are thus unable to municate effectively.
