SPAM is a Social Problem like the War on Drugs (Score 1, Insightful)

Spam Conference Reports As long as people are willing to push spam and people are willing to pull out there VISAs for products contained in spam, the problem will never go away. We need to start educating the newcomers to the internet that don't know better or help the people who can't contain themselves from impulse buys. ISPs should have a newcomers guide. What is SPAM and why you should avoid it. The work from home spammers are the equivalent of street pushers. The war on drugs hasn't been successful in stopping these criminals, what makes us think we can. They are inticed by the quick cash. And the addicts are inticed by the crap they buy. The only thing left is to fix SMTP and create end-to-end accountablility. Then sit back and wait for the next version of Spam to be developed. And start the cycle all over again.
