The real reason there's e-mail spam is that e-mail by its nature the

the costs, not layering on an e-postage scheme that's supposed to
artificially compensate recipients and charge senders.)
is this ASRG policy now ?
Sure, I suppose so. We're working on a new improved charter which
isn't quite done, but I can promise that it doesn't contain the word
"consent".
Does that mean that the equivalent intent will be shown, without using
the "C" word - or that the intent of the research group will change?
I found Consent to be a very useful concept in the analysis of spam.
What are the reasons for it dissapearing from the charter?
