Re: on spam

This is absolute compact concrete and conjoined. As filtering increases, 
so does alternative meaning; one can imagine filtering that only allows 
'literary' or 'scientific' communication - that 'makes sense' - that 
results in new theoretical breakthroughs. In such such cases, our entire 
culture would be carried on the back of short-circuited advertising; we 
would have to buy only enough product to continue the progress of civil- 
ization...
