Declan on Spam
Declan McCullagh gets accussed of being a spammer which prompts an interesting article by him on Politechbot.
It's clear that spam is getting worse. Ancedotal evidence suggests the volume is increasing, and I wrote an article recently saying that more spam
is coming from overseas. What's more, reliable sources tell me it's
unlikely that the House bill that the Commerce committee approved this week
will go anywhere. "It's going to be ambushed on Judiciary," one source
says, and apparently just about all the staffers who successfully steered
the bill through the House last year have left the Hill.

more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
