Do you have citations to support these statements?
However, my complaint now is largely the spyware and adware that is
plagueing the Internet. Microsoft, and most anti-virus companies were caught
unaware of the destructiveness of these programs.
MS can't plead ignorance; it's a natural offshoot of the massive security holes they introduced deliberately in their OS.
How about a plan of multiple Spam nexus (nexi?) where registered
spammers can send mail to their recipients. People can then decide to reject
all spam if it does not come from a specific or registered nexus.
Too complicated. I have a much simpler solution.
1. Track down the spammer. 2. Shoot him thro' the head.
This has the added advantage of being a hell of a deterrent. "You mean I can be shot for sending junk email?"
...and maybe we can add a rider to eliminate chain letters too.
