Although not unspeakable it has that "little" glitch in the idea that
someone has to decide what is spam and what is not.
The problem isn't really spam, per se, it's the volume, particularly
the volume at the recipient's (both the ISP and end-user) expense.
Charge a small fee for all mail, which marketing can work part of into
the base rate ($12.95/mo! First 1,000 messages included!)
Then you don't have to qualitatively assess each e-mail as to whether
it is worthy of free transport or not.
(I know "did you read what I WROTE?!", YES I DID, ok?! It still comes
down to someone, somewhere having to decide what is spam and making
someone else agree to that judgement, unless one is a govt-mandated
monopoly this tends to be a bad business model.)
