where's that Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem scorecard?
You're probably thinking of
http://www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/you-might-be.html
great list. but just because there is no final ultimate technical
solution, doesn't mean that (a) governmental/legal solutions are
viable or (b) that nothing can be done to ameliorate the situation.
the list conspicuously doesn't mention understanding the spam
industry and particularly its money-flow. this is kinda like trying
to eradicate a disease without really understanding its biology or
food-sources; you might succeed, but it's probably more luck than
science. we 'merely' have to tip the tables so that spam is mostly
unprofitable, after all (presuming that spammers are not in it for
altruism).
