Certainly, I think the bill as it is written will prevent a lot of e-mails that would otherwise be sent, but no longer will be sent, by legitimate businesses. What I think those businesses that do carry on legitimate activities want, as Joanne was saying, is some tweaking of the wording to allow some of the activities that are current valid activities now. One example I've heard repeatedly today is that of the situation with referrals, which is key, certainly for the industries at this table today. That at least will maintain some of the legitimate activities if that particular tweaking is dealt with.
