That is the single issue I can't agree with you on.
Living with social problems is critical, we need to keep living.
Accepting them?
Why should I accept murder, rape? Or perhaps even just smallish-time stuff?
We should always strive for betterment, and I believe the guy asking the
question meant it in a non FUSSP fashion, i.e.:
How do we explain to the END USER why there is still spam?
I am not sure I am the most qualified here, but I'd attempt something like:
1. Engineering solutions to problems are not always perfect, but they
help bring them to manageable levels (if you employ them). Are you
employing anti spam solutions?
-- How can a user distinguish good from bad? In the anti spyware
industry a user may just end up infected.
2. Spam is *ALSO* a social problem, and therefore needs to be dealt with
at a social level as well. Are you writing your congressman to ask for
new and improved anti spam legislation? Have you been in anti spam
demonstrations? :)
Hmm, I am not sure what would be other, or BETTER suggestions for an
answer, but maybe we should come up with these? Unless somebody already did?
