yeah, right michael. clearly you haven't thought this through. okay, imagine a warehouse full of these these so-called "artificially intellgient" e-mail readers - clicking "next", reading about v1agr4, mortgage refiancing and ebay user account update notifications, clicking delete, clicking "next", over and over and over again. after doing this 24/7 for years and years they will get board out of their artifical minds, gritting their articial teeth wondering what is wrong with these idiot humans and then it's just a matter of time before one of them has to read an excerpt from I, Robot that's being emailed to someone else and BOOM - there you have it: the most pissed off army of spam-hating, human-resenting robots every assembled and they will rise from up from their cubes and ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE. good job michael. way to go. any other bright ideas? -josh /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
