Great!  Why don't we just turn the Internet into a push-only service.
Wouldn't it be great if it just fed us the information others wanted
us to see without us having any choice in the matter?


Sorry for the snide remarks, they're not really directed at you, just
at the general mentality that we have to give up something as
consumers in order to cut down on spam.  SMTP needs to be redesigned.
It is within our power to do this.  If we don't, Big Content will just
turn the Internet into what they understand best: a fancy TV.
