New blogger Gnu Hunter came across my site and saw my previous rantings on the topic of spam and thought I’d be interested in his analysis of Bill Gates’ junk mail solution.  Bill seems to think he can solve the spam problem in two years through the use of micropayments.  Gnu analyzes just a few of the problems with this approach.

Given that spammers are unscruplous bastards who will lie, cheat, and steal to get their crap into our inboxes, I’d still like to recommend stringing a few of them up by the toes and bleeding them slowly to serve as an example to others.
