Boulder Pledge - The Boulder Pledge
- Under no circumstances will I ever purchase anything offered to me as the result of an unsolicited e-mail message. Nor will I forward chain letters, petitions, mass mailings, or virus warnings to large numbers of others. This is my contribution to the survival of the online community.
- Roger Ebert
During a panel at the University of Colorado at Boulder's Conference on World Affairs in 1996, Roger Ebert coined the Boulder Pledge. He came up with the above text, and encouraged everyone to take the pledge. The pledge was published in the December 1996 issue of Yahoo! Internet Life magazine, in Ebert's column titled "Enough! A Modest Proposal to End the Junk Mail Plague". The Boulder Pledge has established itself as one of the basic principles of the anti-spam community in an attempt to make the sending of E-mail spam less profitable. External links
