I mean no offense to Andrew and really don't disagree with his suggestion.

Except.

Except that I see it as another attempt to bandage up another buggy-whip
factory when the need for buggy-whips is gone (see also the SPAM-L code
blue efforts). (And isn't that a strange name--it was not the buggies
that got whipped.)

I've said before, and will join you in hoping I done say it again, that
"spam" is bigger than email (or "USENET", the forgotten half of NANAS).

The problem is similar regardless of medium (from email to
street-corners) and some the tactics against it are similar.

Isn't it time to unify the efforts against intrusive, abusive marketing?
