Hey, you've just described the FUSSP! :-(
Solution!? Since when is a description of one aspect of the problem, considered to be the solution. In a nutshell I said that the email SPAM problem is getting worse, not just measured by SPAM volumes or number of new SPAM techniques, but measured by the number of people turning to non-email communications channels. ------------------------------------------------- Part of what you said was this:
: Soon Internet email will be like IRC, a quaint : service for Internet enthusiasts and oldtimers, : but not a useful tool for businesses or ordinary : individuals.
What I meant was: when only a few folks use email, the spammers will go away. Like parasites on a dead animal body. The spammer-parasites will find something else to devour. Besides, it was just a joke. I should've turned my smiley around. ;-) scott
