:: Gates is nuts! ::

So I get spam. So I don't like it. But so what? I have a delete button don't I? And filters that can filter out 90% of it? Why worry anymore about it? It is my opinion that the more visibility we give spammers, the more they will think that spamming works.

So you can imagine my reaction upon reading this story on CNN where the horned one himself, Bill Gates, is proposing that we start buying "stamps" for email which is somehow supposed to stop the proliferation of spam.

Yeah right. Like that will really stop the flow. Does Gates honestly think that spammers won't find a way around something like that? Geez.
