When I worked for IBM back in the '60s, on many occasions during my 7 years there I heard
upper management say that they were proud to be with a company that tried to be a "Good Corporate Citizen ".
One branch manager had a cube on his desk which had printed on each side the(ir) manifesto of Corporate Social 
Responsibility.

 "The revelations come as AOL and other Internet providers have ramped up their efforts to track down the purveyors of 
spam, which
has grown into a maddening scourge that costs consumers and businesses billions of dollars a year."

Perhaps those Corporate Citizens who can do something to ensure the viability of E-mail, should.
