At this point, I'll settle for 10% effective or better. I just want to make SPAM at least as hard as Identity theft. Owen --On Sunday, June 13, 2004 2:57 PM -0400 John Curran <jcurran@istaff.org> wrote:
You underestimate the profitability of spam and the creativity of such folks in filling out applications. I do think that it's workable, but just don't presume that its going to be airtight.

As I said earlier in private mail to John, I think this will only work if the reporting is done on indivuduals, not companies. For non-corporate business entities, the president of the company should be used as a stand-in for the company. For corporate business entities, the CEO or chairman of the board should be used. I'm betting that spammers will rapidly run out of people willing to forego future internet access in the name of continuing their business fairly rapidly.
