Is this a new thread topic you are trying to hint at
ipoiraroa? Is it the aspect of Spammers in the p2p society
you want to discuss, but have hidden it cleverly in the
body of a spam's innermost text? I say - rightO - my
friend, lets talk spam.

open any p2p app, from krapzaa to winmx to aim to y!im.
none of them are immune, all subject to spam in the p2p
age. its not so much the networks that are really subject
to spam, but the end users. but haven't we always been
subject to unsolicited-solicitation? there hasnt been more
than a day or two in my life when i didn't have some kind
of junk mail weighing my mail box down, not to mention my
mail-man's shoulders.

with snailmail, however, there are actions we can take to
eliminate junk mail. for instance, write or call the ad
company and ask to be taken off their list (does not work
in the case of aol junk cd's though, ive tried that, yet
they still come once a week)

with p2p, or email for that matter, there are still some
things you can do. for one, add the spammers to an ignore
list (fesible until list becomes 10mb+) possibly message an
admin to report an abuse, not logic for large scale systems
or true p2p models. i make the preposal that we, those who
are intollerant to spam as such, ban & boycott the
spamists. and not just ignore them, but index them as
organizations who advocate the spam ethic.

maybe a new p2p model in and of itself is nessesary, an
anti-spam net, if you will. could a cross-platform,
open-standard for a shared index of spam using businesses
thwart the efforts of unsolicited messaging?


just a thought(s)
