Eric Goldman in the San Jose Mercury News thinks spam is an inevitable by-product of our "irrelevancy-filled reality". Quite.
He doesn't, though, think the torrent of spam constitutes a "major social crisis". Let's see....
It seems a short leap from everyone complaining about how much spam they get to voluntarily paying for a two-tier, spam-free, promptly-delivered mail platform - a first and second class mail system, if you will.
And if that saves everyone from setting up more and more email addresses to get around the deluge, then that might be an option.
The interesting thing about the IT department at my paper's approach to incoming spam on the Notes mail system is its complete and unfathomable arbitrariness.
Each day I get about five or six messages from the IT department saying incoming mails have been quarantined. Looking at some - certainly not all - of the subject lines, I can understand why. But how come the other hundred or so daily inquiries about my virility make it through?
