Here in the U.S. we should be all too familiar with leaders that sign treaties or agreements and then go against their word when it is in their best interest (the wonderful world of baby Bush)... Likewise, China is not going to decrease the amount of spam that comes out of its borders because it is not in their self-interest. Once again, money is the motivator... anyone surprised? As long as someone can make a buck filling your email inbox with penis enlargement ads, they will continue to do so. It's not rocket science kids, it is economics. There is a great article (http://www.freep.com/money/tech/mwend22_20021122. htm)about a 57 year old man that has made a living off spamming. As long as the capability is there it will be manipulated. So, thank you China for coughing up your John Hancock, but please forgive me if I'm a tad unenthusiastic.
