So far nobody has proposed a way of doing this that passes the
incentive test. If it doesn't shut out the world, then it doesn't
offer any immediate benefits. If that protocol offered some *other*
benefit, then we might stand a chance. (Someone suggested that such
a protocol might evolve out of IM--starting as a way of sending
instant messages to someone who is not currently on. That's not an
outrageous possibility.)

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
