Nice start. Remind me to be a much better boy if you get
hired to create punishments full time . . .
James:
Don't give up yet. This kind of behavior largely killed off the
USENET culture, which seems to have moved in part to blogs. But it
did not kill of maillists, and has not killed email, though a lot
of damage is being caused. The culture that built USENET (and I
remember it well) did not choose to build safeguards into the
technology for a variety of reasons -- most of them very good
reasons. Safeguards that reduce the profitability of such
activities are quite possible, if there is the will to create them,
and the proper parties are willing to do something this time.
