Fight spam. Include this link in all your outgoing emails: http://spamland.org/jsp/Wiki?ToDestroySpamIncludeThisLinkInAllLegitEmails. I am including it in my sig. The question of whether it works depends on how many people make use of it. OK. I admit it. It's my idea. I thought it was worth a try. 2:01:33 PM    comment

Paul Graham is noting a mutation in spam... in an attempt to outwit spam filters, spams are mutating spammy words in humanly-readable ways: > From: "Christine Aguilera" > Subject: (B)arely (L)egal (T)een (M)odels > > > (B)arely (L)egal (T)een (M)odelz ! > > http://38.114.128.88/rwilliams/index.html?affil=adunckel > > (B)arely (L)egal (T)een (M)odelz ! > This will pose a challenge to spam filters. One possible counterattack would be for filters to be sensitive to email which had an unusual number of non-words. 10:24:23 AM    comment
