RE: What percentage of the Internet Traffic is junk?

Perhaps now I'm the one being pedantic, but you're confusing "somebody" with the owner of the resources involved in the sending.

Look, we're the ones asking what percentage of Internet traffic is junk, so we're the somebody. We know what we mean and can do a reasonably good job of explaining it. Basically, it's junk if the sender wouldn't have wanted to send it, the receiver wouldn't have wanted to receive it, the owner of a computer was duped or tricked into sending it, or it's an attack, and so on. It's not complicated. We do have to pass some value judgments. But any number of things we measure requires such value judgments. DS
