C/R can mess with mailing lists.
I proposed a system to fix that problem. I recieved no constructive
criticism, and when I proposed government funding that became the issue not
wether or not it could work.
Uh, no. You proposed government *control*. "Government funding"
means you get a research grant to implement a system that everyone can
use.
The main advantage I see to C/R is that it does not require any technical
knowlege, and it can prevent a new user from ever seing a single spam thus
disrupting its propegation.
The main disadvantage is that I'm not going to talk to someone using
a C/R system, because it means increasing *my* workload, to lower
*their* spam problem. This is fundamentally evil, in my opinion.
Filters of any sort, on the other hand, require user input and must be
constantly trained as spammers evolve. Users will only do this after they
see spam as a problem, this is probly after they bought their *free* viagra.
There are spamtraps, which receive *nothing* but spam. Many filter
systems use spamtraps as an automated source of spam.
I see spam as a major problem.
Most people here agree.
A 1% increase in overall productivity could mean the difference
between a good economy, and a bad one.
That's nice.
