Those recent contributions disagreeing with defining spam as unsolicited

hopelessly controversial among the general public, and suggest that this

worrying about "spam."
I think it suggests we concentrate on illegal+unethical methods
spammers exploit in the hope of at least making them more accountable,
as a first project.
That's why the whole RMX thing came up.
I don't happen to agree that it's very germaine to spamming but I also
don't think it's a bad thing either.
But it's in the space of fraudulent identity which spammers do
exploit, which I think is one reason why it rang true with a lot of
people even if (as I fear) it's not all that much help with spam.
I think the deep social wisdom that comes through the ages is make
them put their name on it and it'll stop. Just don't ask me how.
